 Create a bootable USB flash drive by using the ISO file and one of the free tools available
online.
Use ISO to USB or RUFUS if you need to boot an UEFI machine, Win32DiskImager for a
BIOS machine. In Linux, using the dd utility makes sense.
 Connect the ISO file as a CD/DVD drive to the virtual machine that you want to recover.

2.9.3 Recovering a machine
2.9.3.1 Physical machine
This section describes recovery of physical machines by using the web interface.
Use bootable media instead of the web interface if you need to recover:
 OS X
 Any operating system to bare metal or to an offline machine
Recovery of an operating system requires a reboot. You can choose whether to restart the machine
automatically or assign it the Interaction required status. The recovered operating system goes
online automatically.
To recover a physical machine
1. Select the backed-up machine.
2. Click Recovery.
3. Select a recovery point. Note that recovery points are filtered by location.
If the machine is offline, the recovery points are not displayed. Do any of the following:
 If the backup is located in the cloud storage, click Select machine, select a target machine
that is online, and then select a recovery point.
 Select a recovery point on the Backups tab (p. 48).
 Recover the machine as described in "Recovering disks by using bootable media" (p. 41).
4. Click Recover > Entire machine.
The software automatically maps the disks from the backup to the disks of the target machine.
 To recover to another physical machine, click Target machine, and then select a target
machine that is online.
