VMware Restore

Recover your VMware virtual machines from your IDrive 360 account quickly, securely, and reliably.

Launch the IDrive 360 desktop application and click 'Restore'.
Choose the restore method: 'Online Restore', 'Local Restore', or 'IDrive^® 360 Express™'.
Navigate to and select the 'IDVMwareBackup' folder from your IDrive 360 cloud account or local storage.
Note: If performing a Local Restore, you can select the desired version from the 'Version' list.
Click 'Restore Now' to transfer the 'IDVMwareBackup' folder to your local system.
Once the folder is restored locally, go to 'Server Backup'. A slider panel will appear.
Click 'VMware' to open the VMware connection interface.
Select 'VMware Restore'.
Enter the ESXi server details: IP address, Port, Username, and Password, then click 'Connect to ESXi'.
Browse and select the 'IDVMwareBackup' folder restored from your IDrive 360 account or local storage.
Choose the virtual machines you want to restore to your VMware environment.
Click 'Restore Now'.
In the restore settings popup:
- By default, 'Existing machine' is chosen as the restore target.
- To create a new virtual machine in the same location using the selected data, select 'New machine' and provide a name.
- Click 'OK' to continue.
A confirmation popup will appear, indicating that the VMDK file will be overwritten and the virtual machine will remain powered off during the restore.
Click 'Yes' to proceed.
After the restore completes, a summary of the restored virtual machines will be displayed.
