Abstract
A method and system are provided for restoring a virtual machine. A snapshot of the virtual machine is taken where the snapshot includes stored configuration information regarding a hosted network used by the virtual machine. In one embodiment, the virtual machine is restored, and a hosted network that has a type similar to the hosted network for the virtual machine is found. In another embodiment, a new hosted network having a type of the hosted network for the virtual machine is created. The vNICs of the virtual machine are modified to operate with the similar or newly created hosted network. If the hosted network for the virtual machine is a custom hosted network, then a similar or new hosted network is found or constructed having the same parameters as the custom hosted network.
