Browse and search virtual machines for restore
Note:
This dialog finds the virtual machines that were backed up with the VMware policy type. It does not search for other types of backups.
Note:
If the backup was made before NetBackup 7.6, the backup image must be imported and verified before it can be browsed or searched.
Table: Browse and Search Virtual Machines for Restore dialog box
Dialog box item | Description |
---|---|
Search virtual machines | Search for virtual machines by name, IP address, UUID, or by other criteria. |
Browse virtual machines | Browse for virtual machines by drilling down through the virtual objects. Select the type of view for browsing:

Note:
Although VMware allows up to 128 characters for an object name, the NetBackup database restricts searches to the first 126 characters only.
