Change Restore job staging

I initiated a restore of a vmdk (300GB). I told BE to place this on a drive that has 700GB free. I then get an alert that my c:\ drive is full. It appears BE is staging the restore job in c:\windows\system32\. This drive only has 60GB. How can I work around this?

thanks

    choose a local path (local drive), rather than network path. You can do a redirect restore of vm disk on local drive only. If you try the network path, it goes to the path you mentioned.
