Running ad hoc restore operations

After a virtual machine (VM) has been backed up to an IBM Spectrum Protect server, you can run ad hoc restore operations.

Procedure

  1. Determine which VMs have backups by selecting the datacenter and choosing Monitor -> IBM Spectrum Protect.
    A table with a list of all VMs and their backup status is displayed.
  2. Select a VM that has a backup in the inventory, and right-click IBM Spectrum Protect -> Restore.
  3. Select the restore point and specify any additional options.
  4. When the restore wizard is completed, click Finish.
  5. Optionally, monitor restore progress by using the Recent Tasks view in vSphere.
  6. Optionally, verify the status of the restore operation in the inventory.
