Veritas NetBackup™ for Hyper-V Administrator's Guide

Restoring data from the backups that excluded the boot disk or data disks

If the policy's Virtual disk selection option excluded the boot disk or data disks, you can restore the backed-up data as follows:

  • If Enable file recovery from VM backup was enabled on the backup policy: You can restore individual files from those portions of the virtual machine that the Virtual disk selection option did not exclude.

  • If the Virtual disk selection option was set to Exclude boot disk: You can restore the virtual machine and move the restored data disk(s) to another virtual machine.
