US Patent 10929250 Method and system for reliably restoring virtual machines

A method and system for reliably restoring virtual machines. Specifically, the method and system disclosed herein enable virtual machine recovery, on a target computing system, indirectly through a connection to a central administration point. When the central administration point becomes unreachable, thereby interrupting the virtual machine recovery process, the method and system disclosed herein further facilitate directly connecting with the target computing system (bypassing the central administration point) in order to continue and complete the virtual machine recovery process.
