PATCHING OF VIRTUAL MACHINES DURING DATA RECOVERY

摘要

Example embodiments relate to patching of virtual machines during data recovery. An example method includes receiving an indication that a virtual machine is to be restored to a system. The method may include causing a virtual machine image file for the virtual machine to be sent to the system. The virtual machine image file may be retrieved from a data backup repository. The method may include indicating to the system, to a disk mounting tool of the system, that the virtual machine image file is to be mounted to create a mounted version of the virtual machine. The method may include indicating to the system that the mounted version of the virtual machine is to be patched. The method may include receiving an indication from the system that the patching is complete. The method may include sending to the system an indication that the virtual machine can be brought online.
