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.

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.

Split Restored Virtual Disks

This option can be used when restoring virtual drive files to the local file system. If the check box is selected, the plug-in splits the “.vmdk” file into 2 GiB 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.

8
To save the settings, click Save, and then click Next.
9
In Job Name, specify a name for the job.
10
In the Target Client list, verify that the client from which data was backed up is selected.
