8 Restoring a Backup of Virtual Machines

Click on the Restore button in the Actions tab of the main menu to restore one or several backed up

virtual machines. The Restore Backup wizard opens in the main workspace area and asks you to

provide the required information and configure the necessary settings for the new restore task. The

wizard consists of the three consecutive steps which appear in the same area:

 What to restore.

 Where to restore.

 How to restore.

These three steps of the restore wizard and their possible options are described below.

8.1 Select VM(s) to restore

In the first step of the restore backup task wizard, you should define the backup location and select

the virtual machines to be recovered. The chosen locations are scanned for the archives presence

and contents, which is necessary to define the recovery point(s) for backup restore.

New Restore Task wizard, Step 1 “Select VM(s) to restore”

Note that if you select an archive which contains an image of a physical machine (when you need to

perform “physical to virtual” or P2V migration), there will be no other options provided at this step,

because such archives have a single recovery point inside.

If the selected location contains any password-protected archives or archives of physical machines,

they are shown in the separate list under the Encrypted and Physical machines Data. To restore your

data from these archives, you have to specify the password in the Password pop-up.
