Use this dialog box to select a type of restore. You can select one of the following restore type while restoring data from a virtual machine in a vCenter:
Full Virtual Machine
This restore type is selected by default. The entire virtual machine will be restored along with its configuration files and disks.
If at least one Hyper-V node is configured on the CommServe host, a Restore as option is displayed. The default selection is VMware; but you can select Microsoft Hyper-V to use the last successful backup of a full VMware virtual machine to create a Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machine. This option enables you to duplicate a VMware virtual machine for the Hyper-V environment, or to migrate a virtual machine from VMware to Hyper-V.
Virtual Machine Files
Select this option to restore disks (VMDK files) from a virtual machine.
Attach Disk to Existing VM
Select this option to attach one or more disks of a backed up virtual machine to an existing virtual machine.
Guest Files or Folders
Select this option to restore files or folders from a virtual machine.
Virtual Lab
Use this restore type to restore multiple virtual machines as a Virtual Lab in an isolated network. You can restore as a Virtual Lab only if you have created a Virtual Lab Policy, otherwise you must create the Virtual Lab Policy as part of the restore operation. You can manage the Virtual Lab on Web Console in the Virtual Labs application.
