Currently, mapped network drives, mounted network shares, and UNC paths are not supported.

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

Split Restored Virtual Disks

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.

This option is only available to backups created using Plug‑in for VMware 10.0.5 and later. To force this behavior when restoring a backup created using Plug‑in for VMware 10.0.1 or an older version, configure this option in the vmware.cfg file:

1
Open the vmware.cfg file in any text editor. You can find this file in <NetVault Backup home>\config on Windows and <NetVault Backup home>/config on Linux.

The setting for this option in the Plug-in for VMware Restore Options dialog box overrides the setting in the vmware.cfg file.
