Step 5. Select Destination for Restored VM

In this article

    The Destination step of the wizard is available if you have chosen to change the location and settings of the restored VM.

    Select a destination for the restored VM:

    1. In the Host field, specify a host on which the VM must run.
    2. In the VM folder field, specify a folder to which the restored VM must be placed.
    3. In the Restored VM name field, enter a name under which the VM must be restored and registered. By default, the restored VM has the name of the original VM. If you are restoring the VM to the same ESX(i) host or the same datacenter where the original VM is registered and the original VM still resides there, it is recommended that you change the VM name to avoid conflicts.
    4. In the Resource pool list, select a resource pool to which the VM must be placed.
