instant recovery - repository hardened
Is it possible to perform Instant Recovery from a backup stored on a hardened Red Hat repository with immutability enabled?

yes, Immutability state has nothing to do with instant restore. The writes always go into a separate file, that is placed on the vPOWER NFS service or the original datastore. This is configurable option for VMware but goes to the datastore mandatory in Hyper-V.

Re: instant recovery - repository hardened
So, if I understand correctly, when I perform an Instant Recovery, Veeam virtually mounts the VM disks (VMDKs) and exposes them to the ESXi host via vPower NFS, using a temporary folder on an NTFS disk of the Veeam server (or Mount Server). In this case, does the Veeam server need to have enough available space, or is the data still read directly from the repository?
The vPower NFS service acts as a bridge between the backup repository and the ESXi host.

During Instant Recovery, backup server runs workloads directly from compressed and deduplicated backup files, meaning no additional space is required except for storing the changes made while working with the instantly recovered machine.
