Restore Backup Tape to Repository

1- Open Veeam Backup & Replication console, Select the Home tab, click Restore tab and then select Tape.

2- Select restore backups.

3- Add a virtual machine, click on the Add button and then select from backup.

From vSphere Infrastructure – this option is available only for virtual machines. Browse the virtual environment and select virtual machines to restore it to backup repository.
Please make sure that VMs you have selected from the virtual environment that should be successfully archived to tape at least one time.

4- From backups – browse the backups on the tape and select virtual machines under backup to tape jobs. Select it and then click Add.

5- The default settings, Veeam Backup & Replication, will restore backup with the latest date of the archived machine. If you need to restore a backup for the machine to an earlier date, then select a machine from the list.
So click on Point from your right.

6- AT the Restore Points windows, select a restore point that can be used to restore virtual machine backup.

7- If you want to remove a virtual machine, select it from the list and then click Remove. Click Next.

8- Destination option, select where the backup files for the selected virtual machines will be restored:
