Restore<br />

You can restore virtual machines using the <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Protector</strong> GUI or CLI.<br />

Virtual machines backed up with the vStorage Image method can be restored in two ways.<br />

You can select:<br />

Restore to datacenter<br />

Restore to directory<br />

Restore to a datacenter<br />

By default, virtual machines are restored to the datacenter that is specified at the top of the<br />

Restore to datacenter drop-down list, but you can select a different datacenter if you want. By<br />

default, <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Protector</strong> deletes a virtual machine (if it exists) be<strong>for</strong>e it is restored, even if it resides<br />

in a different datacenter than the datacenter you restore to.<br />

Note<br />

An ESX(i) Server system is only aware of its own datacenter. So if you select an ESX(i) Server<br />

system as a restore client and a virtual machine exists in a different datacenter, it cannot be<br />

deleted. Consequently, you end up with two virtual machines having the same UUID.<br />

Alternatively, you can choose to restore virtual machines only if they don‟t exist, leaving existing<br />

virtual machines undisturbed.<br />

You can specify the following options:<br />

Whether the memory states of virtual machine should be restored (if the memory files were<br />

included in the backup).<br />

Whether restored virtual machines should be registered in the datacenter.<br />

Whether restored virtual machine files should be consolidated when the restore completes.<br />

Whether restored virtual machines should be powered on.<br />

Restore to a directory<br />

If you select Restore to directory, virtual machines are restored to the backup host specified in<br />

the Restore client option, to the directory specified in the Restore to directory option (<strong>for</strong><br />

example, C:\tmp).
