Restoring host volumes (Instant Restore)

Restore a host volume or host volume group by restoring the virtual disks that underlie it.

Considerations

The host volume to restore must already have a replica (fractured mirrorclone, snapclone, or
snapshot) that was created by the replication manager. Only those replicas can be selected
in the Instant Restore wizard.

To ensure a Windows host can see the restored data, after the wizard completes unmount the
host volume, unpresent the virtual disk underlying the host volume, and present it back with
the same mount point.

Before using the following procedure, ensure there is no host I/O to the host volume to restore
or its replica.
