Table: Recovery target options

Step overview	Description and reference
Target host	Target host field is pre-populated with the source AHV VM hostname/IP stored during last successful discovery for respective AHV cluster of the VM. Warning: An agent-based restore is performed if the NetBackup client is installed and configured with provided hostname or IP. If you want to perform a restore on another NetBackup client, click Search and select the required client from list. Note: Ensure that you select clients with homogenous platforms. If search option is unavailable, manually enter target host. If you want to perform restore on host on which NetBackup client is not installed, enter the host FQDN or IP in target host. Agentless restore options are displayed.
Agentless restore options	Change staging location on target host: If you want to provide a different staging location other than the default staging location, enter the desired path. Staging location path must have only ASCII characters. Note: Default staging location is user's home directory. File restore options: Based on your requirement, select one of the following appropriate files restores options between: Restore everything to original directory Restore everything to different directory Provide different directory path to restore. Flatten existing directory structure Select this option to restore everything to a single directory without creating any subfolders when files are selected from different directories.
Recovery Host	Recovery host field is pre-populated with backup host, that was used to during the backup operation for selected AHV VM. Note: Recovery host field is empty if the selected VM and backup host platform are not homogenous. Note: To restore files to Ubuntu target host use either RHEL or SUSE as recovery host. Click on search to select another recovery host. It shows a list of compatible Media servers. If you want to select NetBackup client as a recovery host, click on Media servers > Clients. If search option is not available, manually enter recovery host. Note: Recovery host should be of homogeneous platform as the source VM and NetBackup 9.1 or later server or client must be installed. In flex scale environment, if all media servers are not listed in media server tab, then user either need view permission on media server or can manually type the media server to proceed. If you have performed restore on same target host earlier, recovery host is pre-populated with the previously used recovery host based on pre-assigned permissions provided to user performing this restore.
Linux SSH Connectivity	For selected source Linux VM SSH connectivity the following options are displayed: Target host SSH port Specify SSH port of the target host. Default value is 22. If you have performed restore on same target host earlier, SSH port is pre-populated with previously used value based on pre-assigned permissions by the user performing this restore. Target host SSH key fingerprint To authenticate target host, provide SSH key fingerprint in hexadecimal format. You can either manually enter target host SSH key fingerprint or click on Fetch SSH Key fingerprint. Fetch SSH Key fingerprint: If Fetch SSH Key fingerprint option is not available, you must provide SSH key fingerprint manually. See SSH key fingerprint. If you have performed restore on same target host earlier, SSH key fingerprint is pre-populated with previously used value based on pre-assigned permissions by the user performing this restore. You can overwrite pre-populated value for re-establishing trust. Fetch SSH Key fingerprint Display list of SSH key fingerprint along with NetBackup supported Key types configured on target host. Select one of the listed fingerprints and click OK. NetBackup establishes trust with target host using selected fingerprint. Target host credentials Username Specify target host username.
