Description

Apply to whole virtual machine

The following settings apply to the whole virtual machine.

  • Overwrite all virtual disks

    Whether to overwrite the existing virtual disk or disks on the target VM. If this option is enabled, overwrite the original virtual disk and retain the disk UUID. If the option is disabled, restore the virtual disk to the target VM as a new disk; VMware assigns a new UUID to the disk.

  • Datastore

    The name of the Datastore or the datastore cluster that is the destination for the restore.

    Click Search to select a different datastore or datastore cluster.

  • Restored virtual disks provisioning

    The default disk provisioning for all of the disks to restore: Thin provisioning, Thick provisioning lazy zeroed, or Thick provisioning eager zeroed.
