Note that if the existing machines are running, then for the successful recovery operation you should
either stop them manually or select the Power off target VMs when starting recovery option in the
recovery options dialogue (see "VM power management" section (p. 48)).
When choosing the Create VMs with different names option the restored VMs will be named
according to the following convention:
“[Original_VM_name]_DATE”.
Where “Original_VM_name” is the initial name of the restored virtual machine, and DATE is the
current date. For example if the restored VM was called “VM_original” then after recovery it will be
named “VM_original_05/25/2011”.
After you completed the selection of “Where to restore”, click Next to finish the second step and
proceed to the last one.
