2.4.5 Recovering a virtual machine
This is a common recovery procedure. Unlike overwriting an existing virtual machine, this enables you
to recover a deleted virtual machine, create a new virtual machine by recovering it from a backup,
and change the machine's network settings.
Setting up the recovery
1. Open the Backup storage tab.
2. In the list of backed-up machines, select the machine that you want to recover, and then click
Recover.
3. In Recovery point, select the date and time to which the machine will be recovered. By default,
the latest recovery point is selected.
4. In Target vApp, specify the vApp to which the machine will be recovered. By default, the original
vApp is selected.
If the original vApp no longer exists in the organization, you can recreate the original vApp and
recover the machine to it. To do so, select Recreate original vApp. The vApp will be created with
parameters that it had when the machine was backed up.
5. In Name of the recovered machine, type a name that the recovered machine will have in the
vApp. By default, the original machine's name is selected.
If a machine with the same name exists in this vApp, the software examines the machine's
unique identifier in vCloud Director. A machine with the same unique identifier will be
overwritten. If the machine has a different unique identifier, the software creates a new virtual
machine and adds a suffix like (1) to its name.
6. Under Show additional parameters, you can do any of the following:
