It would also be nice not only to restore several VMs in one batch, but also in a scheduled task.

I've a backup machine with Veeam Backup and I would like to restore a copy of a VM on the backup machine to reduce downtime for my production environment in case the ESXi-server crashes. It's possible to start the restored VM in VMware Workstation. And this gives me more time to fix the crashed ESXi-server.

Or is there another way to schedule the restore?

Best regards,

Did you consider replication ? In your case (restore to vmware worskstation), restoring backup, then convert it to vmware workstation would be damn long.

You don't need to convert it to VMware Workstation.
You just restore the complete VM from the backup, import it in VMware Workstation and start it. No problem.
