9.5 Restoration

This section explains how to implement restoration component set-wise.

To perform restoration, execute swsrpvrq shadow restore-hyperv (Hyper-V restore command).

Follow below procedure for restoring Guest OSes.

Execute swsrpvrq componentset info (Component set information display command).
Confirm the name of the component set that contains the Guest OS to be restored.

Example (execution on a Hyper-V host):

C:\>C:\Win32App\AdvancedCopyManager\bin\swsrpvrq componentset info
Component-Set: Name=VMSet1, Count=2
  Component:
    Writer=Microsoft Hyper-V VSS Writer
    Full-Path=\2ACF3DF4-CB02-454F-8369-2E5C0CA783B3
    Friendly-Name=Guest1
      Volume: Name=C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1, Logical-Unit=g1d1
  Component:
    Writer=Microsoft Hyper-V VSS Writer
    Full-Path=\2ACF3DF4-CB02-454F-8369-2E5C0CA783B4
    Friendly-Name=Guest2
      Volume: Name=C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1, Logical-Unit=g1d1

Component-Set: Name=VMSet2, Count=1
  Component:
    Writer=Microsoft Hyper-V VSS Writer
    Full-Path=\2ACF3DF4-CB02-454F-8369-2E5C0CA783B5
    Friendly-Name=Guest3
      Volume: Name=C:\ClusterStorage2, Logical-Unit=g1d2
      Volume: Name=C:\ClusterStorage3, Logical-Unit=g1d3

Execute swsrpvrq shadow restore-hyperv (Hyper-V restore command) with the name of the component set to be restored specified in the -cs option.
All Guest OSes which has been backup target during backup will be restored.

Example (execution on a backup server):

C:\>C:\Win32App\AdvancedCopyManager\bin\swsrpvrq shadow restore-hyperv -h HVHOST -cs VMSet1 -manual-restore
swsrp5204 The processing for PreRestore event has been completed.
swsrp5205 Restore the following files.
C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\Hyper-V\Guest1\Virtual Machines\2ACF3DF4-CB02-454F-8369-2E5C0CA783B3.xml
C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\Hyper-V\Guest1\Virtual Machines\2ACF3DF4-CB02-454F-8369-2E5C0CA783B3\*
C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\Hyper-V\Guest1\Guest1-Disk.vhd
C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\Hyper-V\Guest1\Guest1.vhd
C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\Hyper-V\Guest1\Virtual Machines\2ACF3DF4-CB02-454F-8369-2E5C0CA783B4.xml
C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\Hyper-V\Guest2\Virtual Machines\2ACF3DF4-CB02-454F-8369-2E5C0CA783B4\*
C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\Hyper-V\Guest2\Guest2-Disk.vhd
C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\Hyper-V\Guest2\Guest2.vhd

swsrp5206 Press 'Y' key to continue when restoration is completed. If you are to cancel restoration, press 'Q' key.
swsrp5208 The processing for PostRestore event is performed.
'swsrpvrq shadow restore-hyperv' completed

When restoration is completed, press the 'Y' key.
Post-processing for restoration is executed.

Point

Restoration uses the "Writer Metadata Document" and the "Backup Component Document" that were saved during backup.
The current version supports restoration only by manually copied files.
When copying files manually, be sure to copy the file ownership and access control list information together.
The following is an example of allocating a backup volume as a network drive and restoring it by the XCOPY command:
1. Assign the backup volume in which a shadow copy exists as a network drive (Z:).
```
net use Z: \\bksvr.contoso.com\<shared name>
```
2. Copy a file. (By specifying /O of XCOPY command, file ownership and access control list information are also copied.)
```
xcopy Z:\<file path> C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\<file path> /e /s /y /F /O /X /R /H
```
3. Disconnect a network drive after the restoration procedure is completed.
```
net use Z: /delete
```
