Restore Raw (Full VM) Level Backup Data

Use the steps that follow to perform restore operations on local disk-based virtual machines (VMs) and SAN-based VMs. You would restore raw (full VM) data when you need to recover a system from a disaster or clone a system. You use the same process to restore file level backup data as that of restoring any Windows-based client agent file.

Note: For more information about restoring data, see the Administration Guide.

When you restore raw level backup data, consider the following:

• The current version of the Client Agent for Windows must be installed on the destination system to restore data that was backed up using the Agent for Virtual Machines.
• You cannot browse and restore data at directory and file level granularity from data that was backed up using raw (full VM) or Mixed mode without specifying the Allow file level restore option.

To restore raw (full VM) level backup data

1. Open the Restore Manager, click the Source tab, and select Restore by Tree from the drop-down list.

   Expand the Windows Systems object and browse to the VMware system or the Hyper-V system that you want to restore.

   Expand the system that you want to restore, and select the data that you want to restore.

   

2. Click the Destination tab.

   Specify the location to restore the data.

3. Click the Schedule tab and specify a schedule from the Repeat Method drop-down.
4. Click Submit on the toolbar to submit the restore job.

   The Security and Agent Information dialog opens. To submit the job, you must provide login credentials for the system where you are restoring data.

5. Specify your login credentials in the User name and Password fields and click OK.

   Arcserve Backup applies your security credentials and the Submit Job dialog opens.

6. Complete the fields on the Submit Job dialog and click OK.

   The job is submitted.

   Note: For more information about Submitting Jobs, click Help on the Submit Job dialog. For more information about viewing job status and other job-related tasks, see the Administration Guide.
