-This article explains how to use Microsoft Azure Backup Server (MABS) to restore VMware VM recovery points. For an overview on using MABS to recover data, see [Recover protected data](./backup-azure-alternate-dpm-server.md). In the MABS Administrator Console, there are two ways to find recoverable data - search or browse. When recovering data, you may, or may not want to restore data or a VM to the same location. For this reason, MABS supports three recovery options for VMware VM backups:

In the MABS Administrator Console, there are two ways to find recoverable data - search or browse. When recovering data, you might choose to restore data or a VM to the same location.
 
-* **Original location recovery (OLR)** - Use OLR to restore a protected VM to its original location. You can restore a VM to its original location only if no disks have been added or deleted, since the backup occurred. If disks have been added or deleted, you must use alternate location recovery.
+The following table lists the supported recovery options in MABS for VMware VM restore:
 
-* **Alternate location recovery (ALR)** - When the original VM is missing, or you don't want to disturb the original VM, recover the VM to an alternate location. To recover a VM to an alternate location, you must provide the location of an ESXi host, resource pool, folder, and the storage datastore and path. To help differentiate the restored VM from the original VM, MABS appends "-Recovered" to the name of the VM.
-
-* **Individual file location recovery (ILR)** - If the protected VM is a Windows Server VM, individual files/folders inside the VM can be recovered using MABS’s ILR capability. To recover individual files, see the procedure later in this article.

 1. In the MABS Administrator Console, select **Recovery view**.
 
 2. On the **Browse** pane, browse or filter to find the VM you want to recover. Once you select a VM or folder, the Recovery points for pane displays the available recovery points.
