Redirecting the restore of a VMware virtual machine

By default, Backup Exec restores data to the location from which it was originally backed up. If you want to restore data to a different virtual machine than where the data originally resided, you must create a redirected restore job.

To redirect the restore of a VMware virtual machine

  1. On the navigation bar, click the arrow next to Restore.

  2. Click New Restore Job.

  3. Select the data to be restored.

  4. In the Properties pane, under Destination, click VMware Redirection.

  5. Select the appropriate options.

    See VMware Redirection options.

  6. Start the job or select other options from the Properties pane.
