Which interface should the administrator use to complete the restore?
To restore VMware vCenter from a file-based backup following a failed upgrade, the appropriate interface to use is the vCenter GUI Installer. The vCenter GUI Installer provides a graphical user interface that facilitates the deployment or restoration of a vCenter Server appliance. Restoration using this interface involves two stages: first, deploying a new vCenter Server appliance, and second, populating this newly deployed appliance with data from the file-based backup.
