Restoring Virtual Machine Disk Files for Azure Local

You can restore virtual machine disk files for Azure Local.

Prerequisites

If a passkey is configured for restores, you must have the passkey.

Procedure

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Protect > Virtual machines.

   The VM group page appears.

3. In the VM groups area, click Restore for the VM group that contains the virtual machine.

4. Select Virtual machine files.

   The Restore page appears.

5. To select a specific MediaAgent and/or source for the restore, in the upper-right area of the page, click the Settings button .

   By default, the Commvault software automatically selects the MediaAgent and source as follows:

   • MediaAgent: The software uses the MediaAgent that performed the backup.

   • Source: By default, the software searches for the requested data in the primary copy. If the data is not found in the primary copy, the software selects a secondary or auxiliary copy.

   For more information, see MediaAgent and Copy Precedence Considerations for Virtualization Restores.

6. Select the data to restore, and then click Restore.

   The Restore options dialog box appears.

      By default, the Local System account on the destination client is used to perform the restore operation. The user must have permissions to create files in the specified location on the destination.

   3. For the Path box, type a full path or click Browse to select a destination folder.

   4. To delete an existing file and replace it with the restored file, select Overwrite if it already exists.
