To recover VMware VMs or files:

  2. Click on the Source name.

  3. Above the tree, select Protection Status > Protected.

  4. Use the filters, search box, and views to locate the objects or files you need.

  6. Select your Recovery Options and click Recover.

Cohesity Cloud Protection Service restores the selected VMs or files to the selected location.

Considerations

VMs from a VMC source can be recovered to an on-premises source and vice versa.

Cross-recovery operations may fail due to potential incompatibilities between the source and destination environments.
