Instant recover: "With instant VM recovery, you can immediately restore a VM into your production environment by running it directly from the backup file. Instant VM recovery helps improve recovery time objectives (RTO), minimize disruption and downtime of production VMs. It is like having a "temporary spare" for a VM: users remain productive while you can troubleshoot an issue with the failed VM. Instant VM recovery supports bulk processing so you can immediately restore multiple VMs at once."
Entire VM: "With Veeam Backup & Replication, you can restore an entire VM from a backup file to the latest state or to any good-to-know point in time if the primary VM fails.
In contrast to instant VM recovery, full VM restore requires you to fully extract the VM image to the production storage. Though full VM restore takes more resources and time to complete, you do not need to perform extra steps to finalize the recovery process. Veeam Backup & Replication pulls the VM data from the backup repository to the selected storage, registers the VM on the chosen ESX host and, if necessary, powers it on. Full VM recovery enables full disk I/O performance while Instant VM recovery provides a “temporary spare” for a VM as the vPower NFS throughput is limited."
Verstehe ich so: Bei dem Instant recover wird einfach direkt ein Backup gemountet und gestartet, es findet also gar kein eigentlicher Restore statt.
Bei Entire VM wird tatsächlich ein Backup zurückgeschrieben.
Hat mich übrigens 1 Minute gekostet herauszufinden (kurz gegooglet, gelesen, drüber nachgedacht)...
