Chapter 5: vmPRO Data Recovery

Recovering Virtual Machines

Quantum vmPRO User’s Guide 160

Considerations

SelectingVMstoRecover

From the wizard, you can easily select to recover VMs backed up with SmartMotion™. To recover VMs

backed up with a third-party application, you need to create a staging area from which the

vmPRO appliance can access the VM. See Recovering VMs Backed Up with a Third-Party Application.

RecoveringOneorMultipleVMs

You can recover either one or multiple VMs at a time. Whichever option you choose, you need to define

the backup date from which to recover the data, and a configuration to use in restoring the VMs and

associated disks and files.

ViewingRecoveryStatus

Both during and after the recovery process, you can use the Tasks console to view the progress of the

recovery. See Navigating the vmPRO Tasks Console.

Note:If you are recovering a VM with both Active Directory (AD) and VSS enabled, the VSS

restore process reboots the VM twice. These reboots can take several minutes. During this time, we

recommend that you do not attempt to use the VM.
