  2. In the Select the Virtual Machine to Recover page, enter the name of the source virtual machine(s) to recover from, or perform a search for the virtual machine. Additionally, you can use the tabs on this page to choose a single virtual machine or multiple virtual machines from a selected backup, or browse the source vCenter to determine the required virtual machine source. When you locate and choose the desired virtual machine(s), click Next.
