Hi,
we have an old Citrix XenServer cluster with 2 VMs.
On this cluster there was a Commvault proxy running for backing up the VMs in the cluster.
Now it seems that the storage have a problem. Actually rebuild is running but i don’t know if that works.
Last backups running fine…..but is it possible to restore a VM without proxy? Filebrowse works fine and i can restore files and folders but not my complete VM.
Any ideas how i can restore this VM? Actually the VM backup is on my B2D store.

Regards
Dennis

@Dennis the proxy would be needed to restore the VM to the Hypervisor.  Are you getting an error stating there’s no proxy to connect to XenServer?

The files themselves are restored differently (so you can pull file level items out of the backup job), but the VM itself needs to get sent to the Hypervisor via a proxy.
