Things to consider before you recover the Red Hat Virtualization virtual machines

  • Ensure that the recovery or backup host, that is added to the Red Hat Virtualization access hosts, can communicate with the Red Hat Virtualization Manager through a port .

  • An Red Hat Virtualization VM that has chain of disks due to user snapshot or dependency on template, cannot retain the disk chain after a restore.

  • Compressed virtual disks are not protected and cannot be recovered.
