The backed-up VMs can be restored any time using a manual process. The backed-up VMs are visible under the recovery tab in PowerProtect Data Manager.
With the restore to new option, a new virtual machine is created using a copy of the original virtual machine backup and can be restored on the vCenter Server using a different name. Using the restore to new option, a VM can also be restored on an alternate vCenter Server if it has been discovered by PowerProtect Data Manager previously. Instant access allows the VM to be created and powered on while temporarily accessing the. vmdk from PowerProtect. The virtual machine becomes available for use when it is powered on. You must wait until each VM is powered on and all its services are started before powering on the next VM.
Note: After a restore, follow the power-on sequence in the VMware Cloud Foundation Operations and Administration Guide.
