Target host	Target host field is pre-populated with the source AHV VM hostname/IP stored during last successful discovery for respective AHV cluster of the VM. Warning: Agent based restore is performed if NetBackup client is installed and configured with provided hostname or IP. If you want to perform restore on another NetBackup client, click search and select the required client from list. Note: Ensure that you select clients with homogenous platforms. If search option is unavailable, manually enter target host. If you want to perform restore on host on which NetBackup client is not installed, enter the host FQDN or IP in target host. Agentless restore options are displayed.
Agentless restore options	Change staging location on target host: If you want to provide a different staging location other than the default staging location, enter the desired path. Staging location path must have only ASCII characters. Note: Default staging location is user's home directory. File restore options: Based on your requirement, select one of the following appropriate files restores options between: Restore everything to original directory Restore everything to different directory Provide different directory path to restore. Flatten existing directory structure Select this option to restore everything to a single directory without creating any subfolders when files are selected from different directories.
Recovery Host	Recovery host field is pre-populated with backup host, that was used to during the backup operation for selected AHV VM. Note: Recovery host field is empty if the selected VM and backup host platform are not homogenous. Note: To restore files to Ubuntu target host use either RHEL or SUSE as recovery host.

If search option is not available, manually enter recovery host. Note: Recovery host should be of homogeneous platform as the source VM and NetBackup 9.1 or later server or client must be installed. In flex scale environment, if all media servers are not listed in media server tab, then user either need view permission on media server or can manually type the media server to proceed.
