Recover Hyper-V Virtual Machines to Alternate Locations
CA ARCserve Backup lets you recover Hyper-V backup data to an alternate location and protect VMs that reside on unnamed volumes.
Note: An unnamed volume is a volume that does not have an assigned drive letter.
These capabilities let you do the following:
- Recover virtual machines (VMs) to the same or a different Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V system.
- Create directories (with and without drive letters) on the target VMs during the recovery process, if the directories do not exist.
The Recover VM screen in the Restore Manager contains controls that let you perform the following tasks:
- Recover Hyper-V VMs to an alternate location where Hyper-V server is a Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V system.
- Specify paths to an alternate location on the target Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V system.
Be aware of the following behavior:
- If you specify an alternate path, CA ARCserve Backup takes the entire path from backup set, with the exception of the root drive or volume name, and adds it to the specified path.
