Vmware vm Restore from Snap Copy


Forum|alt.badge.img+12

Hi Team,

Let's assume that I backed up Vmware VM snaps with Intellisnap and did not take a backup copy. I only have a backed up snap, let's say after 5 days, can I restore the VM related to this snap?

Hello ​@0ber0n 

 

If the HW Snapshot is still present (Snap Present on the Storage and the JobID has not been pruned/aged. i.e. Snap Copy with Days/Jobs retention) , Yes you can restore the VM using the Snapshot.

 

Obviously we would recommend having a BackupCopy to the Primary of the JobID, as with this method the Array becomes the risk as it’s hosting the source live data and the Snapshot.

 

Best Regards,

Michael
