Step 5. Configure Mapping Settings

[This step applies only if you have selected the Restore to new location, or with different settings option at the Restore Mode step of the wizard]

At the Disk Mapping step of the wizard, do the following:

Click Change Disk Mappings.
Choose a target VM to which you want to attach the restored disks.

By default, Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV attaches the restored disks to the original VM. To attach the disks to another VM, click Browse.

Important

During disk restore, Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV turns off the target VM to reconfigure its settings and attach the restored disk. It is recommended that you stop all activities on the target VM till the restore session completes.

Select a virtual disk to restore and click Edit.

By default, Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV attaches the restored disk to the target VM as a new disk. However, if you want the restored disk to replace the existing disk, or if you want to change the disk bus type and to specify a storage container for the restored disk, configure disk settings.

Note

You can select a storage container only if you restore from a backup.
