Table: Options to restore to a vApp
Field | Description |
|---|
vApp name | Select the name of the vApp for the restore. This option defaults to the original vApp that was recorded in the backup. |
| Overwrites any virtual machine if it exists. If the vApp has no VMs, this option is disabled. |
Remove exising vApp (or vApp template) and recreate it | Removes the existing vApp or vApp template and recreates the vApp or vApp template. |
Capture vApp as a template in catalog | This option is available when you restore to an existing vApp. Leave this option disabled to create a new vApp for the restore. The virtual machine is restored into a new vApp template. The name of the new template is the same as the vApp that was specified in the vApp Name field. Enable this option to copy the vApp that is specified in the vApp Name field into a new vApp template. It also copies all of the vApp's virtual machines into the same vApp template. Note that this operation may take a lot of time. By default, the source vApp for the copy is retained after the copy; you can have the source vApp removed after the copy. Select the option. Catalog Select the catalog in which to place the vApp template. The organization determines the available catalogs. vApp template name Enter the name for the new vApp template. Select this option to remove the source vApp after the vApp copy to the new vApp template completes. At the end of the copy, the new template and its virtual machines are retained. The vApp that was the source for the copy is deleted.
