Verify that you can restore the virtual machines files using the following steps:a. At the command-line interface of the proxy backup server, enter thecommand:dsmc restore vm my_vm_nameThe default location of the restore is in the following directory:c:\mnt\tsmvmbackup\my_vm_name\fullvm\RESTORE_DATE_yyyy_mm_dd[hh_mm_ss].b. If there are any restore processing failures, view the Tivoli Storage Managererror log for more information.Tip: The log file is saved to c:\Program Files\Tivoli\TSM\baclient\dsmerror.logc.

You can restore a virtual machineusing the files created by VSS.Restore either individual virtual machines or a group of virtual machinesrunning on a Hyper-V server for disaster recovery purposes.Back up data without stopping the virtual machine or stopping any runningapplications within the virtual machine.vRestriction: You can only back up data this way if the operating system of thevirtual machine supports VSS. For further details about this restriction, refer to:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd252619(WS.10).aspxAdd backup and restore support for guest operating systems without installing aTivoli Storage Manager client on the guest VM.For both disaster recovery and long-term data backup support, perform thesesteps:1. Install the Tivoli Storage Manager client on the Hyper-V host Windows 2008operating system (for example, the parent partition).2. On the Tivoli Storage Manager Server, define a single node for the backup ofthe Hyper-V machine.3. Back up a running virtual machine:Chapter 4. Backing up your data 149
