48 Dell Virtual Storage Manager: Installation Considerations and Local Data Protection | 2079-BP-V-VSM
The next step is to add an existing hard disk to the VM that points to the cloned datastore.
5. Find the VMDK file with the data in the folder to recover and click OK. Click OK again to commit the change.
6. Once the recovery data disk has been mounted to the VM, utilize the native OS tools to recover the data.
For example, in Microsoft Windows Server
®
2008 R2, open disk management first.
7. Place the disk online to assign a drive letter to it.
8. Browse the assigned drive letter to see that it is the version of the original data drive from the point in time
that the snapshot was taken.
9. Copy or move the files or data that need to be recovered inside the VM.
If using a recovery VM, move the files back to the original VM.
Clean up the environment once the files have been recovered.
1. Remove the added hard disk by editing the VM settings and removing it.
If the VM or recovery VM does not support hot add/remove, the VM needs to be powered off to remove the
hard disk.
2. Use the VSM Datastore Manager to delete all of the clone volumes that were created during the recovery
process.
