ARemove the existinq VM disk files from the datastore and perform Instant VM Recovery

BPerform Instant VM Recovery with quick rollback with automatic Power On VM at the end.

CPerform Restore VM Files and only restore the VM configuration files.

DUse the 'Restore guest files' option to restore the VM configuration files.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

In a situation where VMs are orphaned after a power outage but their disk files remain intact on the datastores, the most efficient way to restore these VMs with minimal data loss is C: Perform Restore VM Files and only restore the VM configuration files. This approach involves using Veeam Backup & Replication to restore only the necessary VMX files (for VMware) or equivalent configuration files for other hypervisors, which contain the settings and configuration of the VMs. Since the disk files are still present and intact on the datastores, restoring the configuration files allows the VMs to be re-registered with the hypervisor and brought back online quickly, without the need to transfer or restore the entire VM disk files, thus minimizing downtime and data loss.

Option B is the way to go! Instant VM Recovery - sounds like a superhero move to bring those VMs back from the brink. Where's my cape?

Hmm, Option A looks tempting, but I don't want to risk losing any data. I'll play it safe and go with Option B, the quick rollback should do the trick.

Option D sounds interesting, but I'm not sure if it will fully restore the VM configuration. Better to go with the Instant VM Recovery in Option B to be on the safe side.
