Virtual machine folder

Lets you enter the name of the virtual machine folder that is associated with the ESX or vCenter server that you selected.

Resource pool

Lets you enter the name of the resource pool that is associated with the ESX or vCenter server that you selected.

Virtual machine name

Shows the name of the virtual machine. Backup Exec generates this name automatically by adding "VM-" before the name of the physical computer.

For example, if the physical computer name is Server1, then the virtual machine name is VM-Server1.

Overwrite the virtual machine if it already exists

Indicates whether Backup Exec can overwrite a virtual machine if a virtual machine with the same name already exists.

If this option is not selected and the virtual machine already exists, then the job will fail.

Full path of VMware Tools ISO image

Indicates the location of your VMware Tools ISO image.

This path should be accessible with the default credentials. The ISO image is needed to make the virtual machine bootable.

Server configuration

Shows the CPU count and the amount of physical RAM on the physical computer and the amount on the destination virtual machine. You can change the amounts for the virtual machine. However, the amounts are limited by the amounts on the host server.

Disk configuration

Lets you view and edit the properties of the disks for the virtual machine.

Edit disk configuration

Lets you change the disk type and the virtual disk name for any disk in the list. You can also set the datastore to which each virtual disk is sent.
