Restoring volumes on cloud virtual machines
You can restore one or more volumes on a virtual machine.
To restore a volume
- On the left, click Workloads > Cloud.
- Click the Virtual machines tab.
- Select the virtual machine where the application is hosted.
- After the VM is connected, on the top right, click Add protection.
- Select a protection plan and click Next.
- Click Protect.
- To execute the protection plan, click Backup now.
- To view the recovery points, click the Recovery points tab.
- On the top right for the preferred recovery point, select Restore volumes.
You can also apply date filters to search across the recovery points.
- In the Restore volumes dialog box, select one or more volumes.
- From the Target VM list, select the VM to which you want to restore the volume(s).
To restore from a replicated (non-primary) VM, restore to the original location is not supported. If you do not select a VM, the files are restored to the original VM.
- Click Restore.
The restore job for the selected volumes is triggered. You can view the job details on the Activity monitor.
Note:
For OCI , the Block volume management plug-in must be enabled on the client VMs to restore volumes.
Note:
If you want to restore the volume to the same virtual machine and location, you must detach the existing volume to free the slot and then try to restore.
