Restore backup to another hype...

Restore backup to another hyper-v host

I have two hyper-v server, I use vembu to backup and how can I restore my backup to another host?

The restore to another hyper-V is successful according to the restore log. But the guest vm was not attached as an vm inside the hyper-v hosts, the restore process created a vhd or vhdx disk and a restore.conf file on the hyper-v server.

I am using the Free vembu Hyper-V with 30 days trial.

You can restore the VMs backed up from one Hyper-V host to another Hyper-V host. For restoring the VMS to different Hyper-V host, follow the following steps.

Go to Recovery Window of Vembu BDR Server
Select the Backup job, which containing the VMs you have backed up
Choose Live recovery to Hyper-V server as your recovery option
Select the Restore Version
Select the Desired VM(s) and click on Next
Provide the Details of the Target Host(same host or different host), where you want to restore your backed up VMs(Target Host's UNC path, Host User Name, Host Password, RAM size and Virtual Image format as VHD or VHDX)
Review the configuration and click on Restore Now, this will restore the backed up VMs to the target host

For more details, check our Hyper-V evaluators guide at https://www.vembu.com/guide/evaluator...

As per the design of Vembu BDR Suite, It will automatically create a new VM on the target Hyper-V manager after the successful completion of restoration. In order to assist you with this, please send the log folder of Vembu BDR Server as a ZIP to vembu-support@vembu.com. You can find the log folder at < installation Location >/vembu/vembuBDR/log For Example: C/program files/vembu/vembuBDR/log

After checking the Log files, we noticed that the Restoration failed with the error "Restore failed due to insufficient storage. Free space available - [624 ] MB , Required space - [11 ] GB".

Try restoring the backups to a location that has enough free space to create a new virtual machine.
