Overwriting a machine means that only the content of its original disks is overwritten. The content of
hard disks that were added after the backup will remain the same. The machine settings, such as CPU
and memory settings, and the MAC addresses (also known as physical addresses) of the network
adapters are also preserved.
A machine that was renamed or moved to a different vApp is considered a new machine. To
overwrite it, you need a backup that was created after renaming or moving the machine. If you need
to use an older backup, proceed as described in "Recovering a virtual machine" (p. 8).
Setting up the recovery
1. On the organization tab, select the machine that you want to recover, and then click Recover.
2. In Recovery point, select the date and time to which the machine will be recovered. By default,
the latest recovery point will be used.
If the vApp no longer has one or more networks that were used by the backed-up machine, you
are prompted to map the network adapters of the virtual machine to the networks of the vApp.
3. [Optional] Select the Power on the virtual machine after recovery check box.
4. Click OK.
Monitoring the recovery progress
When the recovery starts, the machine will have the Recovering protection status. The progress of
recovery is shown in the machine details area on the right.
If you need to stop the recovery, click the Stop recovery button or the stop button ( ) near the
progress bar. The original machine will likely become corrupted.
After the recovery is completed, the information about its success or failure is shown in the machine
details area.
