Live Restore functionality

[tjk]

I can't find anything about what Live Restore actually does, can someone link me to docs that explain what it does and how it works?

Does it run the VM from the backup server and allow you to migrate to the PVE node, like Veeam and other vendors do?

Hi,
the documentation is here https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-vzdump.html#_live_restore
Essentially, the VM is started as usual on the Proxmox VE host, but if it reads a block that's not yet restored, it will be restored immediately. The usual (sequential) restore is running in the background.
