How Veeam instant recovery physical server works
Veeam's Instant Physical Server Recovery performs a complete backup of the physical server's system, applications and data by installing a specific Veeam Agent (e.g. Veeam Agent for Windows or Veeam Agent for Linux) on the physical server.
These backup files are efficiently compressed and de-duplicated. When recovery is required, Veeam's vPower technology can quickly mount the backup files directly to a running virtual environment (e.g., a vSphere host) and automate the physical-to-virtual (P2V) conversion process while injecting the appropriate drivers so that the physical servers can be restarted and run as virtual machines in a very short period of time.

(i) Migration of Physical Machines to VMware Environments:
It can realize rapid migration of physical machines to VMware environments, shorten the migration process that may take days to minutes, reduce downtime and the resulting financial losses, improve the availability of physical machines, make it possible to approximate the high availability of servers with any attributes, and at the same time, reduce the investment in hardware and clustering software.
(ii) Physical machine Virtual Standby:
With this function to improve the availability of physical machines, the enterprise's server resources can be used more flexibly, and can be quickly switched when needed to ensure business continuity.
(iii) Large-scale restore operations:
Greatly simplify the operation of the restore process, can easily realize the rapid recovery of a large number of physical hosts or migrate to the vSphere environment, to achieve business agility, to meet the large-scale data recovery needs of enterprises in complex environments.
(iiii) Data lab use of physical machines:
Expanding the ability to leverage data asset reuse to physical machine environments, which in turn covers the entire data center, provides enterprises with more data usage scenarios, such as testing, data compliance checking, security recovery, etc., which brings significant value to both technical and financial decision makers, saves time and costs, and reduces losses due to business downtime.
Efficient data backup and instant recovery software
AOMEI Cyber Backup is capable of backing up many types of data, whether it is system files, application data on a physical server or data in a virtual machine, it can be backed up efficiently. It supports major operating systems such as Windows and Linux.
Similar to Veeam, it can perform a full backup of a physical server, including the server's configuration information, database contents, and so on.
✔ Easy to use: The user interface is designed to be simple and clear, allowing users to easily set up backup tasks, select recovery options and other operations, which is very suitable for users who are not familiar with the technology and reduces the cost of learning.
✔ Flexible Backup Policies: The program offers a variety of backup strategies, such as full, incremental and differential backups. Users can choose the appropriate backup strategy according to their needs and the frequency of data changes.
✔ Instant VM Recovery: It provides you a way to quickly restore the VMware virtual machine to a fully operational state, eliminating the need to build and configure a new virtual machine from scratch.
✔ Centralized Management: You can back up multiple virtual machines (VMs) simultaneously from a centralized console, which simplifies the management process.

Prerequisites for instant restore:
• Computer with AOMEI Cyber Backup installed
• VMware ESXi backups created by AOMEI Cyber Backup
1. Create a scheduled VMware backup to ensure consistent protection without impacting system performance. After backup is complete, you can perform instant VM recovery as the following.
2. Click "Task" on the left menu bar, choose "Instant Restore" and click "Create New Instant Restore". Here we take "Restore from task" for an example.
3. Click Source and select the virtual machine and backup version.
4. Click Restore to and select the target device to be restored to.
5. Configure the hardware settings for the new virtual machine, such as CPU quantity, CPU Cores and memory size.
6. Name the new VM and click Start Restore to perform instant recovery.
✍After creating vm instant recovery, click Start Migration on details page to return backup to production environment.
Conclusion
Veeam in Instant Recovery of Physical Servers easily migrates the physical server to a virtual environment and gets the data up and running again in a fraction of the time.
Meanwhile, AOMEI Cyber Backup is undoubtedly a reliable data backup and instant recovery software. AOMEI Cyber Backup is a reliable data backup and instant recovery software that can help you protect your data, whether it's for daily data backup or emergency recovery in case of a sudden data disaster.
