Restore of VMware vCloud Director VMs

Veeam Backup & Replication enables full-fledged restore of VMs to VMware vCloud Director. You can restore separate VMs to vApps, as well as VM data.

For restore, Veeam Backup & Replication uses VM metadata saved to a backup file and restores specific VM attributes. As a result, you get a fully-functioning VM in VMware vCloud Director, do not need to import the restored VM to VMware vCloud Director and adjust the settings manually.

Backed-up objects can be restored to the same VMware vCloud Director hierarchy or to a different VMware vCloud Director environment. Restore options include:

Instant Recovery
Full restore for vApps and VMs
Restore of VM disks
Restore of VM files
Guest OS file-level restore for VMs
