DS-User F1 Help for GUI (Context-Sensitive) : Select restore options (VMware VADP on Windows DS-Client)
 
Select restore options (VMware VADP on Windows DS-Client)
Use this tab to select the restore options and/or restore destination. This process overwrites any existing files of the same name. Options that do not apply to the selected backup set are either unavailable or do not appear.
 
Detailed Log
Records all files that are restored to the Detailed Log (in the Activity Log).
Restore Reason
Depending on the backup set kind, this list can appear on this page or on a subsequent page.
You must select a reason for the restore request from this list.
Local Storage Restore Options
This list appears only if the backup set has data stored in Local Storage and offsite on the DS-System. The DS-Client always attempts to restore from Local Storage first, but the options in this list address the specific scenario in which the DS-Client also needs to restore some data from the DS-System.
(Default) Stop, if connection to DS-System not available when needed.
Continue, even if connection to DS-System not available.
Try to connect to DS-System first. If connection fails, stop.
Additional Restore Options (Windows DS-Client - VMware VADP backup sets)
The available restore options depend on the selected destination VMware server.
For each virtual machine selected for restore, you can specify additional restore options to be performed.
Power on VM after restore
Starts each virtual machine that is successfully restored.
Unregister VM after restore
After successful restore, the virtual machine will be unregistered from the vCenter Server.
Add timestamp to VM name
Appends the restore time to the end of the virtual machine’s name. For example, a virtual machine named “RestoreVM” will be restored as “RestoreVM_[yyyy-mm-dd-hh:mm:ss]” in the vCenter Server.
Use SAN with all disk types
If this option is selected and the configuration supports this option, DS-Client will try to restore the virtual machine using SAN Transport mode.
