    2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Backup > VMware Backup & Disaster Recovery.

    3. In the top navigation bar, select the region where the VMware VM resides. .

    4. On the Backup Plans tab, find the backup plan and click Restore to VMware in the Actions column.

      Note

    5. In the Create Restore Job panel, set the parameters in the Virtual Machine, Location, Computer, Storage , Network, and Confirm and Execute steps. After you set the parameters, click Create.

      After the restore job is created, you can view information of the job on the Restore Jobs tab. The information includes the status of the job and the volume of data that is restored.
