Multiple VM Restores in Single Backup Exec 12.5 Job

I'm attempting to restore multiple VMs using Backup Exec 12.5 with VMware VCB. I can restore a single VM but I'm unable to restore multiple VMs in a single job because it asks for "New Virtual Machine Name" in the property page under "VMware Redirection". It appears to take only a single VM name. Is there some way to bypass this or enter multiple names to correspond to different VMs begin restored? Thanks

Hello,

Are you restoring it to a different Virtual Centre or same Virtual Centre?

If you are restoring it to the same virtual centre you will  have to create one job for one VM.

How to restore a VMware Virtual Machines (VM) to a ESX 3.02/3.5 servers using Backup Exec Windows Server (BEWS) 12.5 Agent for VMware Virtual Infrastructure (AVVI).

Hope this helps...

 Do you have to restore to a redirected host?

 If you didnt select redirect, I assume it would just go back to the existing vcenter or ESX host?

I'm restoring to the same vCenter from which I backed up. If I don't select anything in the Destination: File Redirect or VMware Redirect, I get the following error. I'm thinking even when restoring to the same vCenter its necessary to choose one or the other. Am I still doing something wrong?  Any ideas?
