One-Time Restore to Hyper-V

Cove Data Protection (Cove)'s One-Time Restore feature allows you to restore data to Hyper-V or Local VHDX as configured in Add Recovery Locations on an on-demand basis.

It is possible to run one-time restores on devices assigned to either the Recovery Testing or Standby Image plans.

  • Devices and Recovery Locations must belong to the same Customer
  • A Cove Data Protection (Cove) SuperUser or Manager account
  • Recovery Locations must be added to the Management Console and the Recovery service must be installed on the recovery location before one-time restore can occur
    • Recovery Location is an environment where restores will be performed

Limitations

  • One-Time Restores are not available for devices with disabled ‘Virtual disaster recovery’ feature in an assigned Classic Retention Policy (Product)
  • 32-bit architecture is not supported
  • Due to a Microsoft limitation, Hyper-V does not support FAT/FAT32/ExFAT formatted drives. For this reason, please use NTFS formatted drives for Standby Image. More information can be found in the Microsoft Documentation for Hyper-V
