Abstract
A remote backup agent that provides restoration services to virtual machines in accordance with one or more embodiments of the invention includes a persistent storage and a processor. The persistent storage stores a resource map. The processor obtains a restoration request for a virtual machine of the virtual machines; identifies a high computing resource availability host that does not host the virtual machine in response to obtaining the restoration request using the resource map; while the virtual machine is exposed, performs a restoration of the virtual machine in the identified high computing resource availability host; migrates the restored virtual machine to a second host that hosts the virtual machine; conceals the virtual machine; and exposes the restored virtual machine.
