Agent for Windows and Agent for Linux recover a disk (volume) backup to a new virtual machine
of any of the following types: VMware Workstation, Microsoft Virtual PC, Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization, or Citrix XenServer Open Virtual Appliance (OVA).
Files of the fully configured and operational machine will be placed in the folder you select. You
can start the machine using the respective virtualization software or prepare the machine files
for further usage. The OVA virtual appliance can be imported to XenServer. Disks of a Virtual PC
can be attached to a Hyper-V virtual machine.
A virtual machine must be powered off during the recovery to this machine. The target machine located on an
ESX(i) or Hyper-V host will be powered off without a prompt. Please be sure to specify the correct machine.
