INSTANT RESTORE AND INSTANT ACCESS OF HYPER-V VMS AND APPLICATIONS RUNNING INSIDE VMS USING DATA DOMAIN BOOSTFS

摘要

A production host for hosting virtual machines includes a persistent storage a backup storage client, and a production agent. The persistent storage stores data associated with a portion of the virtual machines. The backup storage client provides access to second data associated with a second portion of the virtual machines stored in a backup storage. The production agent identifies an instant access request for a virtual machine and, in response to identifying the instant access request, generates instant access virtual machine data in the backup storage using a portion of the second data associated with the virtual machine; locally mounts the generated instant access virtual machine data; locally instantiates the virtual machine using the instant access virtual machine data; and executes the instantiated virtual machine using the instant access virtual machine data.
