Restore-SVTvm

NAME Restore-SVTvm



SYNOPSIS

Restore one or more HPE SimpliVity virtual machines





SYNTAX

Restore-SVTvm [-RestoreToOriginal] -BackupId <String> [<CommonParameters>]



Restore-SVTvm [-VMname] <String> [-DataStoreName] <String> -BackupId <String> [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

Restore one or more virtual machines hosted on HPE SimpliVity. Use Get-SVTbackup output to pipe in the

backup ID(s) and VMname(s) you'd like to restore. You can either specify a destination datastore or restore

to the local datastore for each specified backup. By default, the restore will create a new VM with the

same/specified name, but with a time stamp appended, or you can specify -RestoreToOriginal switch to overwrite

the existing virtual machine.



BackupId is the only unique identifier for backup objects (e.g. multiple backups can have the same name). This

makes

using this command a little cumbersome by itself. However, you can use Get-SVTBackup to identify the backups you

want to target

and then pipe the output to this command.
