| Run Direct restore is only supported for virtual machine that is backed up in VDDK mode (Virtual Disk Development Kit) for ESX/ESXi and vCenter setup.

For being able to backup in VDDK mode, AhsayOBM must be installed on a supported Windows operating system platform. | Run Direct restore is only supported for virtual machine that is backed up in VDDK mode (Virtual Disk Development Kit) for ESX/ESXi and vCenter setup.
