Rename, then restore previous vm

[filippoAdb]

I know I don't have to worry if I rename a vm

Veeam tracks objects by MorefID, the job will continue to backup a VM according to schedule because the reference at the level of vSphere inventory remains the same.

Unfortunately my scenario is a bit more complicated.

VM Portal got corrupted, I renamed it to Portal_broken and switch it off but it cannot be deleted because sooner or later we will try to investigate what caused the corruption.
Meantime I restored a functioning version from backup with the old name. So the correct vm to backup is Portal and not Portal_broken as Veeam thinks. Is there an easy way to fix it ? Can I go on with the backup chain I have ? I have 14 restore points for Portal and I would like to join them to the new VM created by the restore operation.

Thanks
Filippo

Hello,
It depends what is "easy" for you There is the way via database edits or Powershell, but for one machine with only 14 restore points, I would go for a new backup chain.

Best regards,
