6.3.6.4 Virtual machine settings
The following virtual machine settings can be configured.
Storage
Initial setting: the default storage of the virtualization server if the new machine is created on the
virtualization server. Otherwise the current user's documents folder.
This is the place where the new virtual machine will be created. Whether you can change the storage
on the virtualization server or not, depends on the virtualization product brand and settings. VMware
ESX may have multiple storages. A Microsoft Hyper-V server enables creating a new virtual machine
in any local folder.
Memory
Initial setting: if not contained in the backup, the default setting of the virtualization server.
This is the amount of memory allocated to the new virtual machine. The memory adjustment range
depends on the host hardware, the host operating system and the virtualization product settings. For
example, virtual machines may be allowed to use no more than 30% of memory.
Disks
Initial setting: the number and size of the source machine's disks.
The number of disks is generally equal to that of the source machine, but might be different if the
program has to add more disks to accommodate the source machine volumes because of limitations
