Production & DR DC, using VDR to backup Production and restore into DR?

Hello,


We are currently using VDR to backup some of our production virtual machines, we are running ESXi 5.0 and VDR 2.0


In vCenter we have setup a DR and Production data center, they are geographically disperesed and both locations have their own SAN and VM hosts.


I am currently backing up to VDR then offloading the VMDKs to tape.


If I restore the VMDK files on the DR site, how can I restore to the DR VMs? I can switch the VDR appliance from our production to our DR VDR VM, but I think it is still reading from the centralized "vCenter".. Is this at all possible? I do not want to overwrite my production machines, I want the VDR to restore to the DR DC.


Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
