The Restore Process
Use the Restore operation to recover the VPG virtual machines on the recovery site from a backup job. The virtual machines on the protected site remain protected and live.
The Restore operation has the following basic steps:
1. The VBA accesses a specified backup, either by identifying the specific VPG that was backed up or by scanning a specified repository for offsite backups.
2. The VBA passes the offsite backup to the VRA.
Note: If backed up volumes were deleted after the backup was created, as long as there are still volumes to restore, the backup can continue, restoring the remaining volumes.
3. The VRA creates the virtual machines under the designated host and storage on the recovery site. The host and storage can be the same as the recovery host and storage specified in the VPG or any other host and associated storage in the site.
4. If requested, the restored virtual machines are powered on.
