Restoring relocated and deleted databases
The backup solution for restoring databases and log files that are relocated and deleted after a virtual machine (VM) backup requires Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V and Data Protection for Microsoft SQL Server.
Before you begin
Decide where the database and log file data is to be restored.
About this task
When you restore the backups, and complete a full database restore operation from the backup, Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V restores the files to their original location.
If database or log files are relocated during the backup cycle, Data Protection for Microsoft SQL Server restores the files in their original locations.
If any databases or log files were created during the backup cycle, Data Protection for Microsoft SQL Server re-creates the new files. If database or log files were deleted during the backup cycle, those files are not restored.
