Starting a virtual machine

After a virtual machine is restored, it is in powered off state. You must start it manually. When you start the virtual machine, the operating system might prompt to perform an error recovery or record the reason for the unclean shutdown. Usually, you can ignore this message and select the normal boot option.

Relocating a virtual machine to an alternate ESXi Server

2
Click Edit Plugin Options.
Cluster setup: To relocate a virtual machine in a cluster setup, configure the following options on the Restore virtual machine under vCenter tab.

Recover virtual machine under vCenter

To restore a full virtual machine or one or more virtual disks, select this option.

Alternate Datastore

Specify the destination datastore name for the virtual machine. For more information about this option, see Alternate Datastore.

This option is required when relocating a virtual machine. If you do not specify this job, the restore job fails.

Standalone ESXi Server setup: To relocate a virtual machine to a standalone ESXi Server, click the Restore virtual machine to standalone ESXi host tab, and configure the following options.

Recover virtual machine under vCenter

To restore a full virtual machine or one or more virtual disks, select this option.

Alternate Datastore

Specify the destination datastore name for the virtual machine. For more information about this option, see Alternate Datastore.

This option is required when relocating a virtual machine. If you do not specify this job, the restore job fails.

Host

Type the IP address or DNS name of the alternate ESXi Server host.

User Name

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

Password

Type the password for the user account.

4
Select the Disassociate host from vCenter Server check box.

For more information, see the relevant vSphere documentation.

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.

Performing file-level restores from image-level backups

1
On the Create Restore Job — Choose Saveset page, the saveset table provides a list of available savesets. The table shows the saveset name (Job Title and Saveset ID), creation date and time, saveset size, and saveset status.

Saveset is online (all segments are online).

Saveset is partially online (some segments are online).

Saveset is offline (all segments are offline).

Table 19. Saveset filters

Client

In the Choose Client dialog box, select the clients.

Plugin Type

Displays savesets created using a particular plug-in. The default selection is Any.

Date

In the Choose Job dialog box, select the jobs.
When you select a saveset, the following details are displayed in the Saveset Information area: Job ID, job title, tag, server name, client name, plug-in name, saveset date and time, retirement setting, Incremental Backup or not, archive or not, and saveset size.
4
On the Create Selection Set page, open the applicable container nodes — that is, the vCenter, Datacenter, ESXi Host Cluster, and ESXi Server — to list the virtual machine images stored in the saveset.
6
Open the Volumes node, and then open the disk partitions to display the directory tree.
8
Click Edit Plugin Options.

In the Plug‑in for VMware Restore Options dialog box, click the Restore Files tab, and configure the following options:

Files Restore

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

After selecting the individual files and directories under the Volumes node, if you do not select this option, the job fails.

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

10
To save the settings, click Save, and then click Next.
11
In Job Name, specify a name for the job.
12
In the Target Client list, verify that the client from which data was backed up is selected.
