   CAUTIONS!

   As a best practice, select an ESXi host for the restore destination that does not already contain the protected VM. Otherwise, both the protected and recovery VM could be lost.

   To increase the recoverability of the VM, protect it by using a VMware Standard backup set in addition to this VMware QuickSpin backup set. Doing this protects the VM both locally and in the cloud.
