# Instant Recovery
## Over**view**
With the option of Instant recovery, you can recover VM quickly. VM will mount workload images to a host directly from the backup stored on backup repositories. However, it will be limited I/O performance; you must migrate the VM to production when successfully restored.
## **Requirement**
* Check your available resources.
* Create a new vApp to restore the VM
**\*\*\* During recovery**
You can only restore and migrate each VM in turn.
**\*\*\* If you want to restore and migrate many VMs at the same time**
* Please contact HI GIO support.
## **Procedure**
* Choose the VM and point that needs to be restored with Instant Recovery.
* Select Restore mode.
* Verify status restore.
* Migrate and Verify VM.
