Storage Destination dialog box (restore to alternate location)

Select the datastores where the .vmdk files are to be restored.

  • Source VMDK File Name

    Shows the names of the .vmdk files that were backed up.

  • Datastore/Datastore Cluster

    Shows the VMware datastore or datastore cluster where the .vmdk files are to be restored. Click in this field to select another datastore.

    See Select Datastore or Datastore Cluster dialog box (restore to alternate location).

    If the datastore is in a datastore cluster, NetBackup displays the name of the datastore (not the name of the cluster).

    Indicates whether the datastore or datastore cluster has enough space to contain the selected .vmdk file.

    OK

    The datastore or datastore cluster has enough space to contain the selected .vmdk file.

    Insufficient space
