To restore vSphere VMs:
1. On the navigation bar, click Computers.
A grid lists available computers.
2. Find the vSphere environment with the VM that you want to restore, and expand its view by clicking the row.
3. Click the Jobs tab.
4. Find the backup job with the VM that you want to restore, and click Restore in the job’s Select Action menu.
5. In the Choose What You Want to Restore dialog box, select Virtual Machines.
6. Click Continue.
The Restore dialog box shows the most recent safeset for the job.
7. To restore data from another source, click a source (usually a vault) in the Source Device list.
8. To restore from
an older safeset, click the Browse Safesets button. In the calendar that appears, click the
date of the safeset from which you want to restore. To the right of the
calendar, click the specific safeset from which you want to restore.
9. In the Items to Restore box, select the check box for each VM that you want to restore.
10. In the Encryption
Password box, enter the data encryption password. To view the password hint,
click the Hint button.
11. In the Destination Datastore list, click the datastore for the restored VMs.
12. Select one of the following options for restoring VMs to the selected datastore:
• Restore all selected Virtual Machines to the selected datastore only
• Restore to the selected datastore only when a Virtual Machine’s original datastore is not available. If the backed-up VM contains multiple VMDKs that resided on two or more datastores, and one or more of the datastores is unavailable, the entire VM will be restored to the selected datastore.
Note: If you restore a VM or template to a vCenter, and the original VM is present, the VM will be restored as a clone of the original with the following name: <VMname>-vra-restored-<Date>. The VM will be restored as a clone whether the original VM is powered on, off, or suspended. If the original VM is powered on and using a static IP address, you may encounter an IP address conflict when the newly-restored cloned VM is powered on.
13. In the Destination Host list, click the host where you want to register the VMs.
The list only shows hosts that have access to the selected datastore.
14. Select one of the following options for registering restored VMs with the selected host:
• Register all selected Virtual Machines with the selected host only
• Register with the selected host only when a Virtual Machine’s original host is not available
15. To power on the VMs after they are restored, select Power VMs on after restoring.
16. In the Log Level Detail list, click the logging level. See Advanced restore options.
17. To use all available bandwidth for the restore, select Use all available bandwidth.
18. Click Run Restore.
