Instant restore
Instant restore - disaster recovery feature.
General information
Instant restore provides immediate virtual machine recovery— it restores VM’s configuration files to the Hyper-V host, prepares the VM, and mounts its disks directly from the backup. This allows the Xopero ONE administrator to start using the VM almost immediately, without waiting for the full restoration.
Instant restore is intended only for disaster recovery and is not suitable for production use — to restore production data, use the whole VM recovery option.
When a VM backup is stored in cloud storage, the instant restore feature may work slower due to the need for random-access read operations.
Restoration process
Open the Hyper-V tab (Virtual Machines > Hyper-V) in , then click the Manage & Restore button next to the host whose backup you want to restore.
Select the VM you want to restore and click the restore 
button.
After choosing the backup plan and VM version, click Restore under the backup copy you wish to recover and select the Instant restore option from the drop-down list.
Specify whether to restore the VM to its original location or a new one. Provide key details, including the restored VM’s name, desired power state (on/off) after restoration, and the iSCSI port to use.
Next, select a directory for the VM configuration files, choose a location to store the VM disks, and assign a Hyper-V switch or resource pool for the network adapters.
In Restore settings you can also limit the internet bandwidth.
Once configured, click Start now to begin the restoration process.
Monitoring
You can monitor active instant restore tasks in the Tasks tab in XMS. When you're finished working with the VM, you can shut it down by canceling the instant restore job — click the X button and confirm the cancellation.
