Abstract
A computer-implemented method for virtual machine boot disk restoration may include (1) identifying a hypervisor that hosts at least one virtual machine, where a replication system is configured to replicate virtual machine data stored by the virtual machine, including a virtual machine boot disk used by the virtual machine, to a data repository that is separate from the hypervisor, (2) determining that the replication system is to restore the replicated virtual machine data back to the hypervisor for the virtual machine, including boot disk data replicated from the virtual machine boot disk, (3) attaching, at the hypervisor, the virtual machine boot disk to a storage proxy virtual machine hosted by the hypervisor, and (4) restoring, from the replication system and via the storage proxy virtual machine, the boot disk data back to the virtual machine boot disk. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
