Last time I did :

  • vcb server = 192.168.1.x

  • vitual machine folder /vyatta

I mount vcb backup folder as /mnt/vcbrestore from ESX hosts via smb then restore it with,

vcbRestore -h 192.168.1.x -u root -s /mnt/vcbrestore/vyatta -L 6

if you did some changes to the name, path & etc on that vcb image catalog, do

vcbRestore -h 192.168.1.x -u root -s /mnt/vcbrestore/vyatta -a catalog -L 6

As Anton Said, you can use the Convertor to restore the VM,.... but you can also use "vcbRestore".... however this will restore the vm to the ORiginal location from where it was backedup from, if you take a look at the "catalog" file it created (in the vm directory) and view that file, you will see where it will be restored to, you can manually edit this to point to a new location though...

Take a look at this blog, This explains it pretty well i think>>
