Procedure
1 On the vSphere Web Client Home page, click vSphere Data Protection.
2 Click the Restore tab.
3 (Optional) Filter the backups to narrow your search.
4 Select a virtual machine listed in the Name column, and select one or more backup items that you
want to restore.
When you select a virtual machine, you can see the list of the performed backups for that virtual
machine.
5 Click Restore to start the Restore backup wizard.
6 On the Select Backup page, verify that the list of backups is correct, remove the backups that you
want to exclude from the restore operation, and click Next.
7 On the Set Restore Options page, deselect the Restore to Original Location check box to set the
restore options for each backup that you are restoring to a new location.
8 Enter the name of the new virtual machine and click Choose to select a new host for the virtual
machine.
9 Select the datastore in which to restore the virtual machine, and click Next.
10 (Optional) Under Advanced options, select a new datastore to power on the virtual machine after it
is restored and to reconnect the NIC.
11 Click Next.
12 On the Ready to complete page, review the summary of your restore requests, and click Finish to
start the restore operation.
Note If you selected to reconnect the NIC during the restore process, verify that the network
configuration for the newly created virtual machine is correct. The NIC of the new virtual machine
might use the same IP address as the original virtual machine, which causes conflicts.
An information dialog box confirms that the restore operation was successfully initiated. You can monitor
the restore progress in the Recent Tasks pane.
