Recovery scenarios
For any scenario recovery, a consistent backup must be made of the entire machine (Entire computer), individual partitions (Volume level backup) or individual files or folders (File level backup).
Recovery is available at levels:
-
files and folders (File Level Restore):
- through the Veeam Service Provider Console portal (vac.selectel.ru);
- with Veeam Recovery Media (Linux only);
- using a backup agent, possibly on a running machine. Restore via backup agent interface and command line is available;
-
partitions (Volume Restore) using a backup agent;
-
virtual machine (Bare Metal Recovery) with Veeam Recovery Media is possible when the operating system is inoperable. You can recover the entire machine, entire disks or individual partitions;
-
virtual machine to VMware-based cloud (using Veeam Recovery Media) — recovery for migrating a Linux machine to VMware-based cloud. The required image is already available in the library.
