Restore vCenter 6.5 from backup

[bonne]

Running Veeam 9.5 and created support case # 02162112

After a failed vCenter server 6.5d update, vCenter server is no longer responsive. I want to restore from backup, but regardless of what I do, Veeam wants to restore via vCenter (which is not there)

When I try to add standalone hosts, I am told that the host is already added, But it is not listed under hosts.

When I try to restore to "another destination", I can select a standalone host, but when I continue, Veeam later tells me that it cannot log into the vCenter.

How to successfully restore vCenter when vCenter is not responding?

Regards, Lars.

Add one of your host with his ip address (not name)

I am already using IPs

I figered it out.. apparently it remembers the IPaddress (which is what the vCenter knows), so when adding a dns name in the hosts file, and using this, it works. Had a lot of VMware issues later, but it is up and semms to be running now.

Thanks.
