Instant VM Recovery
Storage Requirement
When performing Instant VM Recovery, Veeam has the option to immediately pre-allocate the necessary amount of storage on the target infrastructure, even though the guest image used is residing on the backup repository (see “Select Target Datastore” step in the User Guide).
This pre-allocation is only available for Instant VM Recovery usage. SureBackup processing will use a thin provisioning mechanism instead, preserving resources on the infrastructure.
Note: Instant VM Recovery will send Data over the production (DNS aware) network. During “migrate to production”, the preferred network settings are not used for data traffic. It’s recommended to use a fast network connection or the Hyper-V parent partition for fast Instant Recovery and migration to production.
