Specify the Virtual Machine Information to Restore

You can recover an entire virtual machine from a CA ARCserve Central Host-Based VM Backup recovery point. This Recover VM method is similar to performing a bare metal recovery (BMR). However a BMR is performed to restore a virtual machine that was backed up using CA ARCserve D2D, while a Recover VM is performed to restore a virtual machine that was backed up using CA ARCserve Central Host-Based VM Backup.

The process involved in restoring virtual machine is as follows:

1. Specify the Virtual Machine and the Recovery Point to Restore
2. Define the Restore Options
   • Define the Original Location Restore Options
   • Define the Alternate Location Restore Options
