NetBackup™ for VMware Administrator's Guide

Recovering CDP protected VMs

VMs protected by NetBackup CDP for VMware have the same backup image format as the NetBackup agent for VMware. So, all recovery operations are the same as the NetBackup agent for VMware.

Here are some minor differences:

  • Agentless single file recovery is supported only if MSDP is configured for instant access.

  • Recovery from the vCenter plug-in is not supported.

  • Cannot restore VMs from CDP-based backup images through Java UI.

Web UI does not allow recovery of the images shown as partial and non-recoverable. You can restore them using NetBackup API. However, the VMs may not start after the recovery.
