I have a backup but can't restore from it.
When I run the restore wizard I get to the part that asks me to choose the destination.
I can see the 2 ESX hosts x.x.x.151 and x.x.x.152. It does not matter what host I choose I get the following error...
"Failed to login to x.x.x.150 by SOAP, port 443, user domain\username, proxy srv: port:0
Unable to connect to the remote server"
Now that doesn't surprise me as x.x.x.150 is the vCenter Server and it's one of the servers that I'm trying to restore.
Anyone have any idea how I can get my restore done?
Thanks
Steven

Re: I have a backup but can't restore from it.
Hello Steven,
Could you please tell me if you are able to browse your vCenter Server down to ESX hosts from the backup console? It seems like you've specified wrong credentials to connect to vCenter Server, which prevents you from accessing to ESX hosts.
Thanks!

Hi
My vCenter Server is not running, this is one of the VM's I'm trying to restore.
Thanks

In this case, please add the desired ESX host to backup console by IP address and perform the restore using this connection. Thanks!

Already tried that, I get the following when I try to add the host...
"Server x.x.x.151 already exists in the database"
Thanks

Re: I have a backup but can't restore from it.
That's strange...usually one can see this error while adding hosts by the FQDN and not by IP address. You may try to remove existing vCenter Server connection and then add standalone hosts to perform the restore.
But please note that removing vCenter Server from the backup console will remove both, configured backup jobs and all records about the actual backup files. To perform a restore you will need to import backup files first and then do the restore.
If you need any assistance with these procedures, please contact our tech support directly. Hope it helps!

Re: I have a backup but can't restore from it.
why not installing b+r quickly on your workstation and check if the backup can be restored from there? would be fast and slick and you could be sure your backup is ok.
