Performing instant recovery

Perform the instant recovery after a VM fails.

A recovered VMware VM is created with the following default name: <original_VM_name>_restore. To edit the suffix, click Edit Suffixes.

A recovered Hyper-V VM is created with the same name as the original VM and no suffix. Due to Hyper-V limitations, it is not possible to rename the VM during the recovery, and the original VM is overwritten by the recovery operation if it resides on the recovery target.

Note:  To recover data from a cold backup copy, you must import the copy prior to performing the instant recovery.
