Bareos 22 - Restore VMWare VM via WebUI

[Simon Verbois]

Hello to all,

I read on the Bareos release 22 blog that it is now possible to restore a VM via the web interface, but I can't find the documentation

Have any of you already been able to perform/test this system?

Thanks to you

[Stephan Duehr]

Hello,

there's not much documentation about this indeed, at https://docs.bareos.org/IntroductionAndTutorial/BareosWebui.html it says:

Plugin options

Provide a plugin options string here if required. The field is only shown if a fileset using a plugin is detected.

The "Merge all client fileset" setting must be set to "No" for restoring a VMware plugin job with the WebUI, then all files
must be selected for restore and a plugin options string can be entered as described at
https://docs.bareos.org/TasksAndConcepts/Plugins.html#vmware-plugin

If the plugin option string is left empty, the restore will overwrite the existing same existing VM from which the backup
was taken, this will only work if the VM is switched off.

I've tested restore of a VMware plugin job via WebUI successfully.
Probably we'll add an example to the VMware plugin section of the documentation in the future.

Regards,

Stephan
