Hi!

I want to recover a VHD file from a HyperV VM, backed up on tape.

The recovery ends with success, but i can't see the recovered VHD of 7GB.

Instead we have an AVHD file with a size of 670 KB.

DPM says we have a 7GB VHD file on the tape. But while recovering, i can see it only transfers 0.75MB.

We tried to recover this VHD from other tapes => same issue

Recovers of other VHD perform well.

Any idea ?

Thanks

Hi,

Locate the tape in the library that has that recovery point.  Right-click the tape and select View tape contents.  Select the dataset for that VM and then click on the COPY button and restore it to a folder.  After the copy / restore is done, see if that contains the 7GB VHD file.

VHD or Virtual Hard Disks are a god way to create backup and work on several operating systems without the pressure to install a new physical hard drive or partition. The Virtual hard disk can effectively host NTFS, FAT, exFAT and UDFS file systems while supporting the standard disk as well as operations. VHD is useful when developers or testers need to check a particular software/application in different operating systems. It lets them install and use several operating systems without buying individual hard disks.

Moreover, Windows 7 uses VHD for creating complete backup of the system. Users can mount the VHD in operating system and utilize these for backup creation and many other related functions.
