Restore The Dpm Clients Directly; Microsoft Hyper-V Vss Writer Restore Specifics; Restore From A Physical Cluster Node - HP Data Protector A.06.11 Integration Manual

Restore the DPM clients directly

1. Switch to the Restore context. Expand Restore and Microsoft Volume Shadow
Copy Writers and select the client from which you want to restore the data.
2. Select the restore modes:
• Restore Components
Use this mode only if the client to which you want to restore supports VSS,
for example if you restore to Windows Server 2003 clients.
You can restore only entire replicas.
• Restore Files
The client does not need to support VSS and you can restore individual folders
or files.
3. When selecting the DPM writer for restore, select only the Replica components.
Do not select the DPM database.
4. Click the Options tab, and under Restore to another client enter the name of the
target client. Click Next.
5. Proceed as with general VSS writer restore. See
for the general VSS writer restore procedure.

Microsoft Hyper-V VSS writer restore specifics

Restore of Hyper-V writer data is possible to the original or to a different location.
During a restore to a different location, the Hyper-V writer checks whether a virtual
machine with the same identity already exists on the system. If it does, the Hyper-V
writer removes the virtual machine from the system before restore and imports the
restored virtual machine. If such a virtual machine does not exist on the system, it
means that a restore session to this system is in progress or that the virtual machine
was already removed. It is possible to perform restore of Hyper-V virtual machines
to any Hyper-V system, which has a Hyper-V writer.

Restore from a physical cluster node

Backup sessions from a physical cluster node can be restored to any cluster node.
To successfully restore such a session to a cluster node, perform the following steps:
1. Delete the cluster group of the virtual machine to be restored using Failover
Cluster Management.
