System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) supports various recovery scenarios for Hyper-V virtual machines.
The following table describes the various support recovery scenarios for Hyper-V:
Scenario |
Description |
||
Recovering a virtual machine to its original location. |
The original VHD is deleted. DPM will recover the VHD and other configuration files on the original location by using the Hyper-V VSS writer. At the end of the recovery process, virtual machines will still be highly available.
|
||
Recovering a virtual machine to an alternate location |
DPM supports alternate location recovery (ALR), which provides a seamless recovery of a protected Hyper-V virtual machine to a different Hyper-V host, independent of processor architecture. Hyper-V virtual machines that are recovered to a cluster node will not be highly available. For more information about how to make a virtual machine highly available, see Make the virtual machine highly available (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=160484). |
||
Item-level recovery (ILR) of Hyper-V virtual machines |
DPM supports item-level recovery (ILR), which allows you to do granular recovery of files, folders, volumes, and virtual hard disks (VHDs) from a host-level backup of Hyper-V virtual machines to a network share or a volume on a DPM protected server.
