Performing instant recovery (Hyper-V Server)
Before performing instant recovery of a Microsoft Hyper-V Server backup:
• The DS-Client service account must be run under a local administrator account and have write access to the instant recovery vault.
• Instant recovery is only supported for Microsoft Hyper-V Server (Standalone) configurations.
• If you want to recover to a different Microsoft Hyper-V Server, ensure that the server version is the same as the original.
To perform instant recovery of a Hyper-V Server (VSS-aware) backup:
1. Click the Backup Sets tab.
2. Select the backup you want to instantly recover.
3. On the Restore menu, click Instant Recovery.
4. Select a backup session, and then click Next.
5. Select the components to restore, and then click Next.
6. In the Share name box, type the share name that is used to connect to the instant recovery data, and then click Next.
7. Select the Mount Virtual Machines to Hyper-V Server option to configure the destination Hyper-V Server where the DS-Client will mount the restored virtual machines. To restore the virtual machines in the instant recovery vault and manually register the same Hyper-V Server, leave this option cleared.
IMPORTANT: The instant recovery vault must be located in the Hyper-V Server or the host must be located in the same domain as the Hyper-V Server.
8. Click Finish.
