Restore a VMware vSphere Virtual Machine

Use the following steps to restore a VMware vSphere virtual machine (VM) back to the original location or an alternate location:

1. Log in to the Barracuda Backup web interface, and go to the Restore > Restore Browser page.

2. Expand the VMware data source on the left, and click on the VM you want to restore; all available revisions display.

3. Click Restore to the right of the revision to restore.

4. In the Restore dialog box, select the following options:

   1. Restore to – Select where the VM is to be restored. Vmware VMs can be restored to a different host or cluster. For restores to alternate hosts managed by a vCenter server, you must use the vCenter server address and credentials. 

      Note: Restoring directly to an ESXi host that is managed by vCenter will fail unless the host is first disassociated from vCenter.

   2. VM Name – Select whether to use the default or enter a new name.

   3. Overwrite – When selected, the restore overwrites existing data for any existing VM with the same name.
      

      

      
      To restore a single virtual machine disk, click More options. Then, select the disk to recover.
      

      

5. Click Start Restore.

To view the restore progress, go to the Reports > Restore page.
