Restoring data

1
When you select a saveset, the following details are displayed in the Saveset Information area: Job ID, Job Title, name of the NetVault Backup Server, name of the client from which the data was backed up, plug‑in used to create the saveset, saveset creation date and time, saveset retirement setting, whether Incremental Backup or not, whether Archive or not, and saveset size.

Click Edit Plugin Options, and in the Plug-in for VMware Restore Options dialog box, configure the following settings.
NOTE: After selecting the individual files and directories under the Volumes node, if you do not select this option, the job fails.
This option can be used when restoring virtual disk files to the local file system. If the check box is selected, the plug-in splits the “.vmdk” file into 2GiB files. If you clear the check box, the plug-in restores the “.vmdk” file is as a single disk file.

Recovering a virtual machine from the restored files

After restoring the virtual machine disk and configuration files, you can use the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client to create a virtual machine using the restored “.vmx” and “.vmdk” files. After a VADP Recovery, you must modify the “.vmx” file so that it matches the disk paths of the restored “.vmdk” files. For more information, see the relevant VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client documentation.
To restore the virtual machine files to the destination VMware Server, start the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client Wizard. Follow the instructions to complete the virtual machine recovery. When the prompt “Select source type” prompt appears, select the option “Backup image or third-party virtual machine.” Additionally, set the “Virtual machine file” option to the restored “.vmx” file.
To recover the virtual machine, you must edit the “.vmx” file, and change the datastore path to reflect the restored “.vmdk” files.
2
Open the “.vmx” file.
It must match the “.vmdk” file generated during restore.
4
After modifying the “.vmx” file, start the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone Client Wizard to create the virtual machine. Follow the instructions to complete the virtual machine recovery. When the “Select source type” prompt appears, select “VMware Workstation or other VMware virtual machine.” Additionally, set the “Virtual machine file” option to the restored “.vmx” file.
*NOTE: In the scenario described in the article http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1019286, the “.vmx” file is not backed up, but the “.vmdk” files are available.
