buttons. The list on the right shows all the virtual machines selected for mounting. The > button is
used to add the VM to this list, and the < button is used to remove the VM from the list. This list
contains the selected virtual machines and their latest available recovery points, i.e. points in time
you can go back to.

For each virtual machine the latest recovery point is selected by default. This recovery point could be
changed by clicking on it. The pop-up window will appear where you can select a different recovery
point.

In the Select Recovery Point pop-up you can see the list of all recovery points available for this virtual
machine and select the recovery point to be mounted. The list includes the timestamps of the
recovery points, the file name of the archive which includes this recovery point and its size.

After you selected VM(s) to run from backup, click Next to finish the first step of the wizard and
continue further on.

to mount the selected VMs on. The list shows only those ESX(i) hosts which are managed by Acronis
Backup for VMware Agent. If the ESX(i) host you need is not in this list, then make sure it is added in
the Configure -> ESX(i) hosts view.
