Start-VBRRestoreVMFiles - Platform type ELinuxPhysical is not supported

[triplus]

Dear

I am trying to generate VMDK files from a linux VM running on ESXI backup taken with B&R community edition running on windows 10 home (using the linux agent for performing the back-up).
Using the GUI this is possible - so it seems to be something related to the powershell command.

Code: Select all

Start-VBRRestoreVMFiles –RestorePoint $restorePoint -Server (Get-VBRLocalhost) –Path “F:\” -Reason "Script restore" -Force

Unfortunately I get the error that the platform ELinuxPhysical wouldn't be supported.

Code: Select all

Start-VBRRestoreVMFiles : Failed to process RestorePoint 185624ab-22ea-499c-ab12-325b05a9db0d. Platform type ELinuxPhysical 
is not supported

Any clue what I would be missing?

Thanks!
Joren

Hi Joren,

That cmdlet notes that it's only for virtual machines (VMware and HyperV).

I believe you want Start-VBRRestoreVirtualDisks

Hi Joren,

Harvey is right. Yes, your machine sits on ESXi, but you backup it with linux agent, which means that VBR still treats it as a physical computer.
And Start-VBRRestoreVMFiles doesn't support agent-related platforms.

Thanks,
Oleg

Hey - that indeed looks to be working. I didn't think to look under the agent management section to restore things

Thanks many times!
