Recovering Host-level Backups
Host-level backups have the following recovery options:
|
•
|
VM recovery – recover VMs that run any operating system. |
|
•
|
File-level recovery – recover files on VMs that run Windows or Linux. |
|
•
|
Instant recovery – recover VMware or Hyper-V VMs immediately. |
The type of recovery depends on the type of data you want to recover. Review the following details to determine the best option:
|
•
|
Use file-level recovery to recover only files from a backup or backup copy for VMs running Windows or Linux. |
|
•
|
For faster recovery of an entire VMware or Hyper-V VM, use instant recovery. |
|
•
|
Instant recovery uses system resources that can impact the performance of other jobs. For VMs you do not need recover immediately, Unitrends recommends a VM recovery. |
|
•
|
Recovery time depends on factors such as the amount of data on the VM and other tasks running on the appliance. |
