Step 4. Choose Backup Repository
In this article
Because tape does not support random access, Veeam Backup & Replication restores VM backups from tape to a staging area (backup repository or another location) and after that performs full VM recovery from disk.
From the Backup repository list, select the repository that should be used as a temporary storage (staging area) for VM backup before the VM is restored to the virtual infrastructure.
You can also select a target folder on any server connected to Veeam Backup & Replication. To do so, choose the Select folder option from the Backup repository list and choose the location to which backups should be restored before full VM recovery.
