Procedure To Recover To An Alternate Stand-Alone Hyper-V Host

  • Article

Applies To: System Center Data Protection Manager 2010

  1. In DPM Administrator Console, click Recovery on the navigation bar.

  2. Browse or search for the Hyper-V virtual machine that you want to recover from the list of Hyper-V computers.

  3. Available recovery points are indicated in bold on the calendar in the recovery points section.

  4. Select the bold date, and then the time from the drop-down list, for the recovery point you want to recover.

  5. In the Recoverable item pane, click to select the recoverable item you want to recover.

    Warning

    If you select the virtual machine on the left pane, the Recoverable Item list will show you the list of VHDs. If you do a recovery at this point, you are recovering a VHD and not the virtual machine.

  6. In the Actions pane, click Recover. DPM starts the Recovery Wizard.

    For more information about the Recovery wizard, see Recovery Wizard.

  7. You can now close the Recovery Wizard and view the recovery status in the Monitoring task area.

    Warning

    • If the recovered virtual machine was backed up in an online state, and it is saved state after recovery, delete the saved state of that virtual machine from the Hyper-V Manager Console and start it.

    • After alternate location recovery always check whether the virtual machine’s network configuration is correct.
