Restoring Data
66 Agent for VMware Guide
4. After the backup directory of the VM is present in its original ESX Server
system (where the VM was present) or in a remote server system, you can
use the VMware provided vcbrestore command line utility to restore the
VM. However, before you run the vcbrestore utility, you must update the
configuration file labeled backuptools.conf stored in the following
directory:
/etc/vmware
Syntax:
vcbRestore -s <backup_directory>
Examples:
The following example describes the syntax required to restore the VM
to a directory that is local (/home/VM/WIN_VM1) to the ESX Server
system:
vcbRestore -s /home/VM/WIN_VM1
The following example describes the syntax required to restore the VM
from a server that is remote (host_name.ca.com) to the local ESX
Server system:
vcbRestore -s scp://root@host_name.ca.com:/home/VM/WIN_VM1
Note: The backup should be a complete VM image backup. It should
include the VM folder that contains all the resource and configuration files
for the VM (for example, \vmfs\volumes\Volume name\VM-folder).
