Restoring a VM from one VBA to another.

Networker 8238 on Windows 2012r2

Vcenter 5.5

Hi all,

I am working on a DR recovery strategy, and I need to get some quick info. I back up VM's through VBA1, which is tied to VCenter1 at Datacenter1. Those backups write to datadomain1.  I clone that data to Datadomain2 at Datacenter2. When I look at my recovery console in VBA1, I see "primary copy at datadomain1" and "replica copy at datadomain2". However, when I select a VM to restore, I can restore either needed copy, but only to VBA1. Is it possible to somehow actually restore a backed up VM into VBA2, which is tied to Vcenter2?

Sorry if this is a no-brainer, but its a question Ive been asked, and cannot find anyone else who may have tested this method.

Thanks all! And I'm not sure if this Avamar section, or Networker, so i added to Avamar since its mainly vm related.
