TSM for VE will connect to any VCenter server you specify.  When we did
our test, the VMWare team built a new VCenter instance and I built a new
datamover, connected it to the fresh VCenter and started restoring VMs.

A word of caution, however, if your data is on tape and you don't have any
fulls to restore you should be prepared to wait a very long time.  We were
doing IFincr backups and saw restore speeds in the KB/s.  The
documentation isn't kidding around when it recommends that a periodic full
strategy is best for tape copypools.

Hi, folks;

I have an upcoming disaster recovery test and will be asked to restore VE
data for the first time.  I can't run tests because the hardware/network
is not in place.  Will the DR VE backup proxy server have to connect to a
duplicate of the current production vCenter server, or just A vCenter
server on the correct network?

Are there any other quirks recovering VE during a DR?

Thanks in advance,
Jim Schneider
