Restoring Veeam Agent Backup to vSphere VM

You can use the Veeam Backup & Replication console to restore a Veeam Agent computer as a VMware vSphere VM in your virtualization environment. For instant recovery to a vSphere VM, you can use backups of Microsoft Windows and Linux machines created on the Veeam backup repository. You cannot perform this operation with Veeam Agent backups created on the Veeam Cloud Connect repository.

The procedure of instant recovery for a Veeam Agent computer practically does not differ from the same procedure for a VM. To learn more about instant VM recovery, see the Instant VM Recovery section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
