Restoring virtual machine data

摘要

A system for restoring a backup data comprises a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to: 1) receive an indication to restore a backup data to a virtual storage device location; 2) determine a map between a virtual storage device volume name and a virtual storage device backup serial number; and 3) retrieve backup data from the virtual storage device backup. The memory is coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.

1. A system for restoring a backup data, comprising:
a processor configured to:
receive an indication of stored data in a running virtual machine to restore, wherein the stored data in the running virtual machine has a current virtual storage device location with a current virtual storage device volume name;receive an indication of a selection of a backup image of a virtual machine with a previous virtual storage device location and previous virtual storage device volume name, wherein the current virtual storage device volume name is different than the previous virtual storage device volume name, wherein the backup image of the virtual machine comprises a backup file for the virtual machine and a virtual storage device backup for each virtual storage device associated with the virtual machine;determine a map between the current virtual storage device volume name and a virtual storage device backup serial number; andretrieve backup data from the virtual storage device backup corresponding with the stored data using the virtual storage device backup serial number;copy the backup data to the current virtual storage device location in the running virtual machine; and a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
