vRanger performs a full restore of a VMware vSphere® vApp(s)™ by using a savepoint created from a backup job. A savepoint contains point-in-time data of the vApp, including member VMs and vApp metadata. If you select an incremental savepoint from which to restore the server, a full savepoint is also restored, along with every incremental savepoint taken between the time of the full backup and the time of the selected incremental backup.
For information about performing a full restore from a savepoint manifest, see Restoring from manifest.
For more information, see Performing a full restore of a physical machine.
To perform a full restore for a vApp, complete the following tasks:
1 |
In the main vRanger UI, click My Repositories. |
3 |
In the Working Repository pane, select a savepoint to restore. |
4 |
5 |
6 |
Click Next. |
The Destination Selection page lets you configure the virtual data center (vDC) to which the VMware vSphere® vApp(s)™ savepoints are to be restored, and the name of the restored vApp.
1 |
To rename the vApp you are restoring, enter the new name in the Restore vApp As field. |
2 |
In the Restore vApp under vDC drop-down list, select the virtual data center to which the vApp should be restored. |
3 |
For each network listed, select a network for the restored vApp in the Restore to Network column. |
4 |
Click Next. |
1 |
In the Storage Profile drop-down list, select the applicable storage profile. |
2 |
To specify a datastore manually, select Any in the Storage Profile drop-down list, and select the applicable datastore in the Datastore drop-down list. |

Click Next. |
In vRanger, the transport determines how restore data is sent, and where the restore processing activity occurs; for more information, see VMware backup transport options. When configuring a restore job for a VMware® VM or VMware vSphere® vApp(s)™, the Restore Wizard uses the Automatic transport selection option by default to select the best transport method automatically at run-time. You can also configure the transport manually by using the Using Custom transport selection option.
NOTE: The Transport Selection page is not available when restoring a physical or Hyper-V® virtual server. When restoring physical servers and Hyper-V VMs, vRanger sends the data to restore over the network from the repository. Because this method is the only one available for transporting data for physical and Hyper-V servers, the Transport Selection page of the Restore Wizard does not display. |
The Restore Wizard includes an Automatic transport selection option, which lets vRanger select the best available method for your configuration. When determining the best transport, vRanger uses two key criteria:
The logic used to select a transport differs slightly based on whether vRanger is installed on a VM or on a physical server. For more information about the order in which vRanger checks for transport availability, see Transport selection order: VM backup.

The Custom transport selection option lets you specify both where the actual restore processing activity occurs) and which transport to use. For more information, see VMware backup transport options.
