13. In Veeam Backup & Replication, open the Backup & Replication view, select the Instant Recovery
node in the inventory pane and make sure that the Instant VM Recovery session is available and
mounted.
4.3 Finalizing Instant VM Recovery
After Instant VM recovery is successfully completed, you can do one of the following:
• Migrate VM to production – Use this scenario if you have recovered a failed VM to the production
ESX(i) host and want to permanently move the VM files to production storage.
• Terminate the Instant VM recovery session – Use this scenario if you have recovered a VM for
testing purpose and want to power it off and remove after testing is completed.
4.3.1 Migrating a VM to production
For VM migration, you can use VMware Storage vMotion, replicate or copy a VM to production with
Veeam Backup & Replication, or use Veeam’s Quick Migration. When you migrate a VM to production, you
move the VM contents from the backup file to the production storage. The VM data is pulled from the
backup and consolidated with changes made to the VM (redo logs). As a result, you get the VM in the
latest state in your production environment.
To migrate a restored VM with Quick Migration, follow these steps:
1. Open the Backup & Replication view in Veeam Backup & Replication.
2. In the inventory pane, select Instant Recovery.
3. In the working area, right-click the name of the recovered VM and select Migrate to production.
