# Step 4. Specify Connection Type

At the **Target Connection** step of the wizard, choose whether you want to use an SCVMM connection or a direct connection to a standalone cluster (or a host) to restore machines to this recovery location. Note that this step applies only if you have both an SCVMM server and a cluster (or a host) in the connected infrastructure.
