Veeam Backup & Replication requests the vCenter Server or ESXi host to initiate a VM snapshot creation on the restored VM. If a user selects to change VM configuration (for example, disk format or network settings) during restore, Veeam makes the necessary amendments. Next, it instructs VMware vSphere to register the restored VM on the host. Veeam Backup & Replication retrieves VM configuration data from the backup and restores it on the chosen ESXi host/datastore. Connects to the vCenter Server or ESXi host where the restored VM will be registered.Veeam Data Movers on the backup proxy and repository establish a connection with each other for data transfer. Transport Services, in their turn, start Veeam Data Movers. Communicates with Transport Services on the backup proxy and backup repository where the backup files reside.Checks available backup infrastructure resources and assigns a proxy server for transferring restored VM data to the target host/datastore.Starts the necessary processes on the Veeam Backup Server.In the initialization phase, Veeam Backup & Replication prepares the resources necessary for full VM recovery.

This section provides a step-by-step description of a full virtual machine restore process implemented in Veeam Backup & Replication. This site uses Just the Docs, a documentation theme for Jekyll.
