Step 8. VMware Restore Wizard: Set Job Options
- Use the tabs to set up pre-job and post-job scripts, disk provisioning, and notifications:
-
Source
This tab displays options related to setting up pre-job and post-job scripts and when they are run.
-
Target
This tab displays only for Full VM Restore or Full VMDK Restore.
| Disk Provisioning | Select either Thick or Thin disk provisioning for the new virtual machine. The disk provisioning option is independent of disk provisioning on the original backup source. The default is Thick. |
| Consolidate VMDK and VM files in one folder | Select Yes for this option if you want the VMDK to be stored with the VM files such as VMX and VMXF files. Selecting No stores the VMDK file in a separate folder, which might be hard to trace. Note that selecting Yes for this option generally increases job run time. The default is No. |
- Notification
| The To, Cc, and Bcc fields designate email recipients | Only one recipient is allowed in the To field. For the Cc and Bcc fields, use semicolons to delimit multiple email addresses. |
| Subject | This is a line of text describing the subject of your message. You can embed the following variables for job related fields: %JOBNAME, %JOBID, %JOBTYPE, and %RC (return code).These variables, which must begin with %, are replaced by their actual corresponding values. If you enclose them in double quotation marks, they are treated as literals, not variables. The following are invalid characters in all fields: < > ; and single quote. Before reports can be emailed to the designated recipients, ensure that the SMTP Host Name and SMTP Port fields are correct. |
