Hyper-V examples of restore to original location

For restore to the original location, NetBackup 8.0 adds a new feature for VMs that were backed up with the WMI method: You can specify a new display name for the restored a VM.

A. Restore to the original location and overwrite the VM

nbrestorevm - vmhv - C VM_to_restore - O

The -O option overwrites the existing VM. This option is required if the VM already exists.

B. From a backup that was made with the WMI method, restore to the original location and change the virtual machine's display name

nbrestorevm.exe -vmhv -C vm1.acme.com -O -R \C:\vmadmin\renamefile2

The file renamefile2 specifies the new display name. The following example rename file changes the display name to vm6:

change /F/VMs/vm1/2D7C007E-90FB-44EC-ABB2-6733D42A51F5.VMRS 
to /F/VMs/vm1/2D7C007E-90FB-44EC-ABB2-6733D42A51F5.VMRS
change /F/VMs/vm1/2D7C007E-90FB-44EC-ABB2-6733D42A51F5.vmcx 
to /F/VMs/vm1/2D7C007E-90FB-44EC-ABB2-6733D42A51F5.vmcx
change /F/VMs/vm1/Virtual Hard Disks/vm1.vhdx 
to /F/VMs/vm1/Virtual Hard Disks/vm1.vhdx
change vmname to vm6

Note: The paths in the rename file should be identical for both change and to. Only the last directive (change vmname to vm6) specifies the new display name, where vmname is a required literal entry, and to specifies the new name.

C. Restore to the original location, overwrite the VM, and create a progress log

nbrestorevm - vmhv - C VM_to_restore - O -L progress_log_file

D. Restore to the original location, overwrite the VM, but do not restore the common files

nbrestorevm -vmncf - C VM_to_restore - O

E. Restore to the original location from a VM backup that a different primary server made, and overwrite the VM

nbrestorevm - vmhv - C VM_to_restore - S primary_server - O

The - S option identifies the server that made the backup.
