Before you restore the VM on Proxmox, you need to have an OLVM VM backup.

Let's open a browser and log in Vinchin Backup server web console. Go to VM Backup > Restore page.

Step 1. Select Restore Point

In the list, you can see all the available restore points. Just select the OLVM restore point you want to restore, and click Next.

Step 2. Select Restore Destination

Select a Target Host where to run the restored VM. Here, you can simply configure the restored VM.

Here select the specific oVirt host and you can simply configure the new VM here, such as VM name, CPU, Memory, Virtual disk and Virtual Network. After configuration, click Next.

Step 3. Configure Restore Strategies

In Schedule, you can choose Restore as Scheduled or Once-off RestoreRestore as scheduled will automatically restore the VMs at a specific time, and Once-off Restore will restore the VMs only once.
