You will need to be more specific...

What happened and what error do you get? Can you boot up the vCenter server? etc...

VM or physical server? Local DB or Remote?

Hi,

it depends how your configuration looks like (vCenter and Database on same or different servers, etc.) and what kind of backups you did.

In case your vCenter and the database were on the same machine, you need to restore your database first, create the DSNs, install vCenter and you're up and running again.

Also take a look at this kb article:

For a more detailed answer we need to know more about your specific configuration.
