Overview
Infrascale Disaster Recovery allows you to restore virtual machines (VMs) to the same or to another Hyper-V server connected to the cloud failover appliance (CFA). To restore a VM to a different Hyper-V host, it must be connected to CFA.
Also, you can restore VMs to a host with Hyper-V Server version different from the one they were backed up from, according to the following restore compatibility matrix:
Source Hyper-V version | Target Hyper-V version |
---|---|
2012 R2 | 2012 R2, 2016, 2019 |
2016 | 2016, 2019 |
2019 | 2019 |
