NetBackup™ for VMware Administrator's Guide

Recovery options

Allow overwrite of existing virtual machine

NetBackup deletes any VM with the same display name that exists at the destination, before the recovery starts. Note that, NetBackup deletes any VM with the same display name, it may not be the same VM, but another VM having the same display name.

For VMware Cloud Director recovery, this option is not displayed if you choose to restore to vSphere (not VMware Cloud Director).

Power on after recovery

Automatically turns on the VM when the recovery is complete.

Recovery host

Indicate the host that you want to use to perform the recovery. By default, the recovery host is the one that performed the backup.
