What components are involved in Instant VM Recovery with vPower?

• A. Cloud provider only.
• B. Only the VM's configuration is restored.
• C. The VM image mounted from a backup file on an ESXi(i) host using vPower, enabling VM startup directly from compressed/deduplicated backup.
• D. Requires freshly installed guest OS.

Answer: (C)

Instant VM Recovery with vPower works by presenting the backed-up VM image directly to the ESXi host and booting the VM from that backup. The VM image (the disk and VMX) stored in the backup file is mounted on the ESXi host using the vPower engine, so the virtual machine starts and runs straight from the compressed and deduplicated backup without needing to restore everything first to production storage. This lets you bring the VM online quickly for recovery or testing while you complete the full restore if needed. There’s no requirement for a freshly installed guest OS, and it doesn’t rely on a cloud provider to function.
