Autostart after restore

[BelCloud]

Hi

Is it possible to auto-start a VM after the restore has finished?

Or do i need to check if the restore is finished and then start manually?

Thanks

Hi,

if you use the stopped mode and the VM is running it will restart after the backup is done.
Be sure that you have enabled acpi on the VM to shutdown the VM.

or you can use the hook script.

He was asking about restore, and I think that could be an interesting option to have. If you have a vm that takes a lot of time to restore and you need to have it run as soon as possible at the moment you have to check the process and be there ready to issue the start command when it finished. Probably you can do with an hook script as suggested, but nevertheless could be an interesting (optional) improvement/addition to standard behaviour.
