Instant rollback from a VM backup image
NetBackup 9.1 and later lets you roll back a VM instantly from a backup image. Only backup images that support instant access can support instant rollback.
You can perform instant rollback for multiple VMs. You can also roll back a VM multiple times to any recovery point.
For example, if you have three backup images, B1, B2, and B3, you can first roll back the VM to B1, then to B3, then to B2, and so on.
After the rollback is completed, all data after the selected recovery point is no longer available.
To instantly roll back from a VM backup image
- On the left, click VMware.
- To select the backup image, do one of the following:
Click the VM
Locate the VM and click on it.
Click the Recovery points tab, then click the date on which the backup occurred.
The available images appear in rows with the backup timestamp for each image.
On the image or a copy of the image, click Recover > Roll back instantly.
Select the check box
Select the check box corresponding to the VM that you want to roll back and click Roll back instantly.
You can select multiple VMs to perform instant rollback.
Select any one of the roll back options:
Roll back to: Most recent
