Restore multiple VMs and boot in desired order

Post by brucquat »

Hi,
I would like to know if with Veeam B&R 11, it is possible to restore for example 5 VMs in a specific order? And in addition if they could boot one after the other?
Many thanks
Regards

Hello,

I think you can script the desired behavior and trigger the next restore once the previous one is completed successfully. You can use this and that cmdlet as a base for your script.

Thanks!

Veeam Orchestrator can automate restores with specific failover restore scenarios if you want a more UI driven approach with testing and so on.

Thank for your feedback.
Then in the restore wizard, if we select 5 VMs to restore, are the VMs restored in parallel or one by one? Thanks

Yes, they are done in parallel. Restores respects the concurrent task setting. If there are enough task slots available, Veeam uses them for the restore of multiple vms.
