How to restore to a new location or move virtual machine first

    My dilemma is that I need to do a full restore on a virtual machine that *had* a second drive (this contains the data I'm after). The second drive was located on a Pegasus RAID while the virtual machine (pvm and first drive) lives on a SSD on a MacMini.

    When I restore, both drives are restoring to the SSD which doesn't have the space necessary.

    Can I restore to a different location or can I move the PVM to the RAID array and then restore?

    Cheers.

    I guess I can answer this myself now. Remove the machine from the management console without deleting files, move to another location, 'add existing machine', browse to new location and viola!

    I WAS concerned that the backups may not be associated with the relocated machine, as when you clone but they are as the UUID doesn't change (I guess)

    Cheers again.
