6.19.2.1 Recovering a KVM Host and the Guests from Backup
This procedure recovers the KVM host and all its guest from a backup of the KVM host and a backup of the guests from the KVM host.
A KVM host can be recovered from a snapshot-based backup using the steps below when severe disaster conditions damage the management domain, or when the server hardware is replaced to such an extent that it amounts to new hardware.
Prepare an NFS server to host the backup archives created in Backing up the KVM host Using Snapshot-Based Backup
The NFS server must be accessible by IP address. For example, on an NFS
server with the IP address nfs_ip, where the
directory /Backup
contains the backup archives.
