An administrator wants to restore the vCenter Server Appliance 6.5 from backup. Where can this be accomplished?

The ESXi Host Client is used to manage individual ESXi hosts directly and does not include any VCSA backup or restore functionality.

The VMware vSphere Appliance Management Interface (VAMI, port 5480) handles configuration and monitoring of a running appliance but does not provide a restore-from-backup capability.

The vSphere Web Client requires a functioning vCenter Server to operate and therefore cannot be used to restore a vCenter that is unavailable or being replaced.

The VCSA 6.5 restore process is initiated from the vCenter Server Appliance Installer (the ISO-based deployment tool), because restoration involves deploying a brand-new appliance instance and then recovering configuration and inventory data from a file-based backup - an operation that cannot be performed from within a running or failed VCSA. The installer wizard provides a dedicated 'Restore' workflow for exactly this purpose.
