Restoring data to the Microsoft virtual server

The Agent for Microsoft Virtual Servers lets you restore configuration information to the Microsoft virtual server or restore virtual machines to their original host.

You also can restore a virtual machine to a different Microsoft virtual server.

See Restoring a virtual machine to a different host.

To restore data to the Microsoft virtual server

  1. On the navigation bar, click the arrow next to Restore.

  2. Click New Restore Job.

  3. Select what you want to restore.

  4. In the Properties pane, under Settings, click Microsoft Virtual Server.

  5. Select the appropriate options as follows:

    Overwrite powered on virtual machines

    Check this option to restore virtual machines that are powered on.

    By default, the virtual machine is turned off before the restore job processes and the virtual machine is overwritten. To prevent powered-on virtual machines from being overwritten, uncheck this option. If this option is unchecked and a virtual machine is running, the job fails. You must manually power down the virtual machine before you attempt to run the restore job again.

    Do not turn on the virtual machine

    Click this option to leave the virtual machine turned off after the restore job completes.

    Turn on the virtual machine and resume from the available saved state

    Click this option to turn on the virtual machine automatically after the restore job completes. The virtual machine resumes operations from the saved state from the time of the backup.

    Turn on the virtual machine and discard available saved state

    Click this option to turn on the virtual machine automatically after the restore job completes. The virtual machine discards the available saved state.

  6. Start the restore job or select other restore options from the Properties pane.
