vSphere Data Protection Part 2

In vSphere Data Protection we have shown the minimum requirements , how to deploy vDP and configure.

Now in this post i am going to share how you can restore the virtual machine and perform the file level recovery.


1. Once vSphere Data Protection is configured , you will find its plugin in here.





2. Click on this vDP

3. After that a job is required in which we get an option to select the particular virtual machine, datacenter or partiicular hard disks of a virtual machine. 



4. We have to specify the job schedule time and retention policy. By default the retention period is of 30 days and could be customized. 





5. In order to restore the machine to a previous backup point, just go to Restore tab and choose the machine and the point where to restore. 

6. Another feature of vSphere Data Protection is, it provides file level recovery. For that you have to login into the operating system and then onto the url of file level recovery i.e.
