The list of available backups that display in the next step is filtered by the selection you make here.

2 Select Restore from the Main menu.
3 Select a day in the calendar and the desired backup below to define the recovery point time.
4 Click Next (Select Files/Items) at the bottom of the screen.
5 On the Restore from Backup screen, you see one of the following:
• No disk image exists; select ‘Create’ to build one.
or
• An image is available for recovery. All images on the backup system display in the grid below.
6 Click Create to create a disk image for the VM from which you are restoring.
Note: If a previous disk image was created and is still mounted for this VM, you must tear down this image before the system will allow you to create a new share.
An image is created and displays in the Images available for recovery area. The VM disk’s files are exposed as a CIFS (Samba) share and/or an iSCSI target. The Targets column indicates whether Samba (smb), iSCSI, or both targets are available.
If you receive an error while attempting to create the image, increase the memory allocated to the Unitrends system and try again.
7 Proceed to one of the following to select files to restore:
• To use a CIFS share to restore files from a VMware backup to a Windows target
• To use iSCSI to restore files from a VMware backup to a Windows 2003 target
• To use iSCSI to restore files from a VMware backup to a Windows 2012 or 2008 target
