Instant VM recovery (multiple VM in a backup job)

[billy.tsang]

HI all,

I am trying to use powershell to run instant VM recovery
I have 2 things to concern.
1.How do I select a VM from a backup job to run instant VM recovery
2.How can I select all the VM from the a backup job to run instant VM recovery at the same time

From the veeam powershell guide

Code: Select all

PS C:\PS> $restorepoint = Get-VBRBackup -Name "Active Directory Backup" | Get-VBRRestorePoint | Sort-Object $_.creationtime -Descending | Select -First 1
PS C:\PS> $server02 = Get-VBRServer -Name "VMware Host 02"
PS C:\PS> $resourcepool = Find-VBRViResourcePool -Server $server02 -Name "Restored"
PS C:\PS> Start-VBRInstantRecovery -RestorePoint $restorepoint -Server $server02 -ResourcePool $resourcepool -Folder "C:\Restored" -PowerUp-NICsEnabled-Reason "VM recovery"

If Active Directory Backup with more than 1 VMs in the list,
1.How can I select a VM from a backup job to run instant VM recovery with PS
2.How can I select all the VM from the a backup job to run instant VM recovery with PS
I am new in writing powershell,please share some ideas to me.

Thank you.

1.How do I select a VM from a backup job to run instant VM recovery

You will need to find necessary backup first, then, specific restore point to restore from. This is exactly what example in user guide illustrates.

If Active Directory Backup with more than 1 VMs in the list

What exactly do you mean by "Active Directory Backup job"?

How can I select all the VM from the a backup job to run instant VM recovery with PS

Find backups first, then, all restore points to restore from. After that, initiate restore.

Thanks.
