I am running Symantec Backup Exec 2012. I have ESX 5.x server. We have the VMWare AGent and have the RAWS installed on all the virtual machines. I do a full backup of the VM and all that good stuff. I am testing the restore side of things. I deleted the Virtual machine off of the ESX server and then tried to do a restore back to it. It kicked me back an error that didn't appear on Symantecs site anywhere. I dug aroudn the gui and found the Convert function. I was then able to then use this convert function to send the virtual machine to whatever ESX server I wanted. Question...
Is the convert fucntion what I shoudl use to restore entire VM's? I was thinking the VMX file and all that good stuff got backed up so I could just do a straight restore back and it would come up on the same ESX server, same settings, all that good stuff..
Thanks in advance for your help,

Figured it out. I was selecting the VM and trying to do a restore, turns out you need to select the VCenter server. 2012 seems to be kinda picky.
