FR: Skip disk on VM Restore

[edh]

Hi,

We're restoring a VM due a DR of a customer.

Right know is imposible to just restore a single disk to proxmox. We need to restore the full VM.

In our case C:\ got 1.8TB and D:\ got 10.8 TB.

Will be good be able to allow us to skip disk on restore from pyhisical to virtual.

Regards,
Manuel

Hi Manuel,

Thanks for feedback.

You can try the following steps:

• Export the VM’s disk as a VMDK. See https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/u ... tml?ver=13.

• Move the disk into the Proxmox environment.

• Attach it to a new VM.

Yes that a valid workarround... problem is that i cant export directly to target datastore and then convert . Restore a VM with 16TB disk makes some corner cases in this case....

I faced the same problem and did a full VM restore to a new VM, detached the disk in question and changed the owner.
It was a huge pain, I didn't have space for the VMDK method, but was able to expand the datastore for the full restore, but had to wait a long time for the unnecessary restore of the data disks. I'm glad it wasn't 16TB.
Would have been so much easier to just restore the disk.

the missing lack of Single disk restore is a big problem right now.
There are still many things that needs to be added to V&B V13.x to support Proxmox in productive environments.

Hi Thomas,

Just to be sure, are you referring to Virtual Disk Restore to Proxmox VE — for example, a feature shown here for the Veeam Plug‑In for Nutanix AHV?

Hi Rovshan ,

Every new year VMs the medium size of the VM's grow. In our case the biggest VM got 60TB in 3 disk. Just in case i need to restore the disk of 16TB, right now in Proxmox i need to do the full restore.

I think that all we ask for allow us to restore a single virtual this of the VM when restore.

Also if your the Manager of this solution, please solve the issue of no data "transfer" when restoring.
