Application Database: None (Restore Files To Client); Restore Of Filesystems - HP Data Protector A.06.11 Integration Manual

IMPORTANT:
Since the Data Protector VMware Integration component cannot be installed on
ESXi Server systems, virtual machines backed up from ESXi Server systems can be restored
back to the original ESXi Server systems only if there is an ESX Server system (with the
VMware Integration component installed) in the same datacenter, having access
to the virtual machine datastores.
If the connection with the target ESX Server or ESXi Server system cannot be established,
the virtual machines are automatically restored to the client specified in the Restore client
option as if None (restore files to client) had been selected in the Application database
option (see
variable OB2_VMWARE_PATH on the restore client has not been set, the restore fails.

Application database: None (restore files to client)

If you select None (restore files to client) in the Application database option, virtual
machines are restored to the client specified in the Restore client option. This
destination client can be any client with the VMware Integration component
installed, but typically it is a VCB proxy system. During such a restore, the virtual
machine files are restored to the directory specified in the destination client omnirc
variable OB2_VMWARE_PATH (for example, C:\tmp). Therefore, before you start
the restore session, ensure that the omnirc variable OB2_VMWARE_PATH is set. For
details, on how to set omnirc variables, see the online Help index: "omnirc option".
After such a restore (restore outside of a datacenter), the virtual machines are not
functional. You need to manually move the restored virtual machine images to an
ESX Server or ESXi Server system, using the VMware Converter as described in
"Recovery after restoring outside of a

Restore of filesystems

Filesystems of virtual machines backed up with the VCBfile method can be restored
to the original virtual machine or to any Windows system (physical or virtual) that
has the VMware Integration component installed. You can also specify what to
do if the files to be restored already exist on the destination client: you may keep or
overwrite them.
