Running the machine

  1. Do one of the following:
  2. Click Run as VM.

    The software automatically selects the host and other required parameters.

  3. [Optional] Click Target machine, and then change the virtual machine type (ESXi or Hyper-V), the host, or the virtual machine name.
  4. [Optional] Click Datastore for ESXi or Path for Hyper-V, and then select the datastore for the virtual machine.

    Changes to the virtual disks accumulate while the machine is running. Ensure that the selected datastore has enough free space. If you are planning to preserve these changes by making the virtual machine permanent, select a datastore that is suitable for running the machine in production.

  5. [Optional] Click VM settings to change the memory size and network connections of the virtual machine.
  6. [Optional] Select the VM power state (On/Off).
  7. Click Run now.

As a result, the machine appears in the web interface with one of the following icons: icon vmware or icon hyperv. Such virtual machines cannot be selected for backup.
