Restore Reheasal Error

I want to test restoring a backup in VDR 2.0 and am running into an error.

The Error I receive is: The device '4' is referring to a nonexisting controller '-4'.

I'm guessing this is related to a USB device that is hooked up the original VM.

How can I get around this error to test the restore?
