Seeking dialog while restoring

Post by Fischle »

Hello,

We want to recreate a faulty restoration in Veeam, but I can't seem to find the dialog where I originally made the mistake in the program.

Whenever I perform an Instant Recovery, the dialog to select older backups looks like this:

But the dialog I try to get is this one:

https://ziwuteam-my.sharepoint.com/:i:/ ... g?e=j2YqBj

It is a backup from a Hyper-V Failovercluster.

I hope someone here can help me.

Hi Markus,

Do you remember what type of restore you were testing before? Instant Recovery, Entire VM restore, Guest Files Restore, etc?

Second screenshot looks like a GuestOS Files Restore (FLR), which is what I think you want.

It was an "Instant Recovery" and the backup job included multiple virtual machines.

I am sure I had the second screen when I did an instant recovery of a full machine, not just files.

Is it possible you were in the Instant Disk Recovery wizard? It has a similar wizard to the screenshot you're looking for.

I'm not aware of Instant VM Recovery having the type of wizard as the 2nd screenshot you shared.

I am sure I did an Instant Recovery of a whole VM.

I'm afraid not, as I don't recall the Instant VM Recovery wizard having such a configuration. What was the issue you were trying to reproduce? Perhaps we can address it this way.

Without a recovery of multiple VM you won´t get to the point I am looking for.
