NBU restore VMs from AIR_Gapped DR site into Main site

we are checking the possibility to restore a VM from AIR_Gap replication location back into the main site's  Vcenter1

main site: NBU1+Vcenter1
DR site: NBU2+Vcenter2

VM initially resides on Vcenter1 of main site, NBU 10.2.0.1 (flex instance) takes backup of this VM and replicate its backup image to WORM in DR (NBU2).

in case we got disaster in main site and NBU1 in main site is crashed, can we restore the VM from WORM/AIR-Gap (NBU2) into Vcenter1?

is it only that we need to add Vcenter1 into NBU2?

thanks,

    Hey

    I believe so - you will add the credentials of Vcenter1 in NBU2 and you should be ready to go, if the network connection will be established and its bandwidth will allow for this - so you will have to use NDB transport mode, as I doubt you have access to LUNs via SAN - but I don't know your configuration.

    The best way is to test this ;) as usual, testing testing and testing ;)
