Pre-recovery check fails with access denied error during alternate location restore

When attempting to perform recovery of a VM from a backup image copy, if you do not have the required privileges assigned to your role to perform alternate location restore, you encounter the error during the pre-recovery check operation.

This may happen when you have privilege to perform only original location recovery, and you are trying to do alternate location recovery.

Workaround

  • While doing original location restore, do not change any pre-populated fields in the pre-recovery page.

  • If you want to perform alternate location recovery, ensure that you have the required privileges.
