    Hi

    Just need to clarify things here ...

    During the restore if you want to restore directly to an ESX Server, rather than through vCenter, that ESX server must not be under the control of vCenter, it must be a stand alone ESX Server otherwise it wont work.

    If it is stand alone then its credential will need to have been added in the Credential section.

    Perhaps you could post some screen shots of the process you are following and your setup to give a better idea of what is going wrong

    Thanks

I can backup all of my guests on all of my ESX Hosts without a problem which is great!

My issue is when I need to do a Restore from Virtual Machine Backup & tehn restore the virtual machine to an ESX Host which has multiple DataStores, from the drop down menu the DataStores are not selectable (they are actually missing) although I know 1 ESX host 3 DataStores.
