Configuring restore options

To configure restore options:

On the Options Selection page, select from the following restore options:
•
Force overwrite: This option overwrites any existing disk or config files of the same name as those files in the destination host.
•
Force power on: This option turns on the VM after the restore.
•
Create cluster role for restored virtual machine: This option is for Hyper-V® VMs only. It attempts to add the VM as a cluster resource of the Hyper-V host parent cluster.

NOTE: The cluster option is available only when a Hyper-V cluster has been added to the vRanger inventory and includes the host that is selected as the restore destination.
