Hi Kapil
Sounds not very straight forward, intuitive and oriented on a daily operations.
I only had one Training for SC so far but we were able to list the snapped VMware Files like a “normal” CIFS Snap in SC-GUI and we could restore/replace single files that way.
Unfortunately we don’t have any good documentation on that, NetApp AdminGuides in this Area are horribly unstructured so far.
Would that be the result when setting APP_DEFINED_RESTORE to No or is there any other supported way to get that essential Feature done?
Basically I’d expect SnapCreator to cover the usually requested Restore-Tasks for VMware in GUI without the need of editing Configs and making unsupported changes.
Tasks include:
- Restore of a whole VM-Datacenter at once
- Restore of a whole Datatore at once
- Restore of a single VM
- Restore of single VM Disk-, Config- or Log-Files
Hope a future Release will Cover that, every other Backup-Software I encountered so far supports that out of the Box and straight forward.
Freundliche Grüsse / Kind Regards

To restore a particular VM you can create a copy your backup config and update the 'VIBE_VSPHERE_NAMES' parameter.
e.g.VIBE_VSPHERE_NAMES=VCENTER1::VM1
This will only restore VM1 and not the other VMs that were backed up as part of the backup.
You can also do this by using the add/override params checkbox on the restore screen and add the VIBE_VSPHERE_NAMES parameter to the list.
