Description
Rapid Recovery of VM files at the original storage location.
This option provides the fastest recovery time. A differencing disk and configuration file in the existing local storage location are created that can be imported into Hyper-V Manager.
Restore all VM files to this destination.
This option recovers the VMs’ files (virtual hard disks and configuration) to an alternate location. Because it performs a copy process, it takes longer. Use this option to archive a copy of your VM or to restore to storage more suited to run the VM.
Select a recovery option button.
If you selected the Restore all VM files to this destination option, at the Path field, type a path, or click the Browse button to select the storage location of the restore.
After selecting the storage location of the restore, click Next.
