Specifies the VMware management client that was used during backup.
-instance OriginalDatacenter
Specifies the datacenter from which the virtual machines were backed up.
-method Method
Specifies the method that was used for backup.
-session SessionID
Specifies the backup session to be used for restore.
–all
Restores all the virtual machines from the specified backup session.
–vmfolder VMfolder
Restores only the virtual machines from the specified folder.
–exclude VMfolder
Excludes from restore all the virtual machines located in VMfolder.
–vm VM
Restores the specified virtual machine.
-disk Disk
Restores only an individual virtual machine disk of each virtual machine.
-target TargetClient
Specifies the client to which to restore filesystems of virtual machines.
-file File
Restores only an individual file or folder of each virtual machine.
Provide the complete pathname of a file or folder, using slashes instead of
backslashes to separate folders. Also, omit the colon that follows the disk partition
letter. For example, to restore the file C:\Test\hello.txt, specify –file
C/Test/hello.txt.
-destination RestoreClient
Specifies the client that the restore session is started on. If this option is not
specified, the session is started on the same client on which the backup was
started.
Use this option in the case of a disaster recovery when you restore from a
Suspend, Snapshot, or VCBimage backup and the new VMware management
client does not have the same name as the original one. Ensure that the new
client is configured for use with the Data Protector VMware Virtual Infrastructure
integration and has access to all the required datastores.
You can also use this option to restore the virtual machines outside of a
datacenter, in which case you must specify the client to restore to.
