Restoring a virtual machine to an alternate vCenter Server

To restore a virtual machine to an alternate VMware vCenter Server, complete the following steps.

2
Click Edit Plugin Options.
3
Configure the applicable options in the Plug‑in for VMware Restore Options dialog box.

Alternate vCenter Address

Enter the Server Address of the alternate vCenter Server.

Port Number

If you want to use a custom port number, type it here. Otherwise, the plug-in uses 443 as the default port.

User Name

Specify a user account that can be used to log in to the vCenter Server. The user account must have privileges to register or create virtual machines

Password

Type the password for the user account.

Renaming a virtual machine during restore

To restore a virtual machine or its individual disks without overwriting the existing copy, you can rename the virtual machine during restore. The plug-in creates a virtual machine and restores the contents of the selected disks.

3
In the Restore Rename dialog box, select the Rename To check box, and type a new name for the virtual machine in the associated box.
The name can contain a maximum of 80 characters. It cannot include any special characters (such as, / \ ? * : @ > < | " ? &). If you specify more than 80 characters or use any special character in the virtual machine name, the job reports an error and fails.

Files Restore

To perform file-level restores from image-level backups, select this option.

Target Directory

Type the full path to the directory to which you want to restore the virtual machine disk and configuration files. The target directory must be local to the NetVault Backup Client on which the Plug‑in for VMware is running. Currently, mapped network drives, mounted network shares, and UNC paths are not supported.

The plug-in does not verify whether you have specified a local or remote directory. If plug-in cannot access the specified path, the job fails.

To save the settings, click Save, and then click Next.

In Job Name, specify a name for the job.
14
In the Target Client list, verify that the client from which data was backed up is selected.
