How to recover the VMware virtual machine using NetBackup when virtual machines are protected by Resiliency Platform

Below tables describe the details of the resiliency group of VMware virtual machines using NetBackup,:

Table: Recommendation to recover the VMware virtual machine by NetBackup which does not impact Resiliency Platform resiliency groups

Types of resiliency group	Recover in source data center	Recover in target data center
All	If restoring the virtual machine on vCenter server which is not configured in Resiliency Platform, there are no recommendations about virtual machines IDs and virtual machines names. Ensure that the IP address do not conflict with any other IP address that Resiliency Platform is managing.	If restoring the virtual machine on vCenter server that is not configured in Resiliency Platform, no recommendations about virtual machine IDs and virtual machine names. Ensure that the IP address do not conflict with any other IP address that Resiliency Platform is managing.

Table: Recommendation to recover the VMware virtual machine by NetBackup when the virtual machines are protected by Resiliency Platform

Types of resiliency group	Source in target data center	Recover in target data center
3rd party replication	If restoring the virtual machine on the original location (Datastore, ESX), must retain virtual machine IDs and virtual machine name. If restoring on alternate location, must not retain any virtual machine ID and virtual machine name.	Cannot recover on replicated datastore (original location) as it is not mounted/writeable If restoring on alternate location, must not retain any virtual machine ID and virtual machine name
Resiliency Platform Data Mover	If restoring on original location (Datastore, ESX), must retain virtual machine IDs and virtual machine name. If restoring on alternate location, must not retain any virtual machine ID and virtual machine name. After restoring to original location, edit the resiliency group, remove and re-add the virtual machine to restart full sync of recovered virtual machine.	Must not retain any virtual machine IDs and virtual machine name.
NetBackup	If restoring on original location (Datastore, ESX) Must retain virtual machine IDs and virtual machine name Use "Overwrite virtual machine" option If original virtual machine is unregistered but not deleted from the datastore, the recover operation creates new folder on the datastore. Delete the old folder before or after the recover to reclaim the space. If restoring on alternate location, it is not recommended to retain any virtual machine ID and virtual machine name. If restoring on alternate location, but still retaining IDs, edit the resiliency group after the recover in order to update the resiliency group configuration.	It is not recommended to retain original virtual machine IDs and virtual machine name. If retaining original IDs and name, make sure that the virtual machine is not registered in source data center.
