Path: Enter the directory on the ESX or ESXi Server where the VMDK files should be created. This path should always start with a datastore within square brackets — [datastore] dir. If the path specified does not exist, the plug-in cannot connect to the ESX or ESXi Server. |
The final steps include setting additional options on the Schedule, Source Options, and Advanced Options pages, submitting the job, and monitoring the progress through the Job Status and View Logs pages. These pages and options are common to all NetVault Backup Plug-ins. For more information, see the Quest NetVault Backup Administrator’s Guide.

Before performing the recovery procedure, consider the following important points:
• |
• |
• |
With this process, the new target machine must have a similar hardware configuration to that of the originally backed-up machine, regarding the NIC and SCSI cards used. If the hardware in use differs too much from the original, driver software conflicts may occur, resulting in a failed restore. |
• |
Values entered in the Restore Name field are case-sensitive. Ensure that the exact NetVault Backup name of the machine to be relocated to is entered in this field; otherwise, the restore fails. |
• |
Relocations of this type must be restored to the same partition they were backed up from. For example, if a NetVault Bare Metal Recovery backup was taken of a system’s “C:\” partition on a Windows®-based system, the restore must be performed to the relocation target’s “C:\” partition as well. You cannot restore to a different partition. |
• |
If you are restoring a 64-bit Linux Client that uses the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) with Plug-in Offline Client for Linux®, add the applicable entry in the UEFI/EFI boot manager the first time that you boot the standby client after the restore. To do so, during the boot routine, press Esc, select Boot Maintenance Manager > Configure boot options > Add boot, add HD(1, GPT, <partitionGUID>, <partitionOffset>,<partitionSize>)/EFI/<LinuxDistribution>/grub(64).efi, and commit the changes. |
To recover to a standby NetVault Bare Metal Recovery Client, perform the following steps.
