I'm now testing restore of the cluster volumes of a failover cluster that is made of vm's in vmware backed up with Veeam Agent.
I have read the prerequisites here.
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120
We can restore the volumes to the nodes if the volumes exist already in vmware and on the cluster nodes, but not if the volumes don't exist.
So in case I delete both cluster nodes and the shared volumes. I can restore the nodes with the system volume C:. But I'm not able to restore the shared volumes. The disk mapping / restore layout does not show in the restore process if the volumes have been deleted in vmware, but it's fine if the volumes exist in vmware. Thus we are not able to do volume restore to the restored cluster node.
Is this expected or should we be able to restore the volumes to the restored cluster node when both nodes were deleted along with it's volumes in vmware?
regards,
Jóhannes
