Next is to check the Backup Repository and check if any restore points are not in the chain and if you have a Broken Chain Backup, fix it. Since the chain in this backup is broken, so cannot restore the VM.

When you try to restore the VM, you get a backup with a broken chain and get the error: “Backup files are unavailable.”Įven when you get this error, the VM restore continues and finishes with the next image. You can now choose one of the restore points to restore the VM.
