To simply kick off a restore, go to the [Restore] screen
At this point, you have 2 options;
[Currently Configured Location] - you can use this option if you'd like to restore form the currently configured backup repository
[Other Backup Location] - if you're restoring from a different drive or a previous backup repository, pick this option in order to point to that location specifically
Once you've picked, go ahead and click [Next]
Choose the Server name from the backups found in the chosen location, then click [Next]
Pick the Backup Version you'd like to restore from the list and click [Next]
Select if you would like to restore the Server as a;
[Virtual Machine] - the server will be restored as a VM to a Hyper-V Host (this option will automatically attach the restore VM to Hyper-V Manager)
[VHD] - if you simply want to restore one or more backed up volumes, you can pick this option (this option does not require a Hyper-V Host and will be restored to the location of your choosing)
Once you've picked the restore type, click [Next]
If you're restoring the server as a [Virtual Machine], the next step is to enter the details for your Hyper-V Host (IP/Machine Name, Domain, Username and Password). Then click on [Test Connection]. It is important to note that the Server OS is supported on the Hyper-V Host OS you'll be picking as the target. See the section 'Supported Operating Systems by target Hyper-V Host' below for more information.
Then, simply enter the Virtual Machine Name, amount of Start up Memory, the restore location (must be a locally connected disk on that host) and whether you'd like the NIC to be disabled:
If you're restoring one or more of the server's volumes [VHD], then you can simply select the volume/s, the restore location (can be a Physical Drive or a Network Path - LAN only) and then click [Restore]
You can monitor the restore progress from the Dashboard
