   3. Click Next.

   

3. In the Select Alternate Recovery Sources page:
   1. Select the original virtual disk backup, or a clone copy if one is available.
   2. If recovering from a clone that is not on a Data Domain device, or recovering from a Data Domain Cloud Tier device, specify the staging pool.
   3. Click Next.
4. In the Perform the Recovery page:
