Recovery Job Wizard for Hyper-V: Destination

On the Destination page, select a location for the recovered VMs.

Setting the Same Host, Datastore, and Network for All Recovered VMs

To recover all VMs to the same server and location and to connect all recovered VMs to the same networks, follow the steps below:

  1. If you selected a tape backup on the Backups page, select New VM(s) in the Recover to drop-down list. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.

  2. Choose a server from the Container drop-down list.

  3. Type a location in the Path field or click Browse to navigate to the path. It can be a local or a shared path.

  4. Choose a network from the Network drop-down list.

Notes
To connect to a shared path successfully, the following conditions must be met:

  1. The shared path is created with the same credentials as the corresponding Hyper-V container that was added. See Adding Hyper-V Servers for details on adding Hyper-V containers to NAKIVO Backup & Replication.

  2. The login session in which you created the shared path has not been ended.

As a workaround, create a symbolic link to the shared path from the Hyper-V container. Refer to Step 7 of High Availability of NAKIVO Backup and Replication for details.

Setting Backup Repository as Destination

If you selected a tape backup on the Backups page, you have the additional option of recovering to an existing Backup Repository. To do so, select Backup Repository from the Recover to drop-down menu and choose the appropriate repository from the Repository drop-down menu below.

Setting the Default Destination for Recovered VMs

If you have chosen a host, cluster, folder, or a Backup Repository as a source for your recovery job on the Backups page, you can set the default container, datastore, and VM folder for the recovered VMs. To do this, follow the steps below:

  1. Click Advanced setup and then click on the name of the chosen host, cluster, or folder.

  2. If you selected a tape backup on the Backups page, select New VM(s) in the Recover to drop-down list. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.

  3. Choose a Default container.

  4. If you have chosen the backup job on the Source page, you can choose a Default Network.

  5. Optionally, you can also choose a Default VM folder.
