Recovery Options dialog box
Select the recovery host and transport mode, as follows:
Destination settings
Shows the configuration of the virtual machine at the time of backup. These settings are applied to the virtual machine when it is restored.
Note:
This information is included for recovery to vSphere only (not for vCloud).
NetBackup Recovery Host
The host that performs the recovery. The default is the host that performed the backup (the backup host).
In most cases, you can use the host that performed the backup. Selecting a different host as the recovery host can result in a slow restore or a failed restore, depending on the transport mode.
For example, the restore fails if you select the SAN transport mode in the following case:
The host that performed the backup used a SAN connection to access the datastore.
The host you select as recovery host does not have SAN access to the datastore.
Media Server
You can use this option to select a media server that has access to the storage unit that contains the backup image. An example of such an environment is a Media Server Deduplication Pool (MSDP) with multiple media servers.
Note:
If the storage unit that contains the backup image is not shared with multiple media servers, this option is grayed out.
Transport modes
Determines how the restore data is sent from the recovery host to the VMware datastore. The appropriate option depends in part on the type of network that connects the VMware datastore to the recovery host.
The default is the type that the backup used.
