Hello,
whenever you restore to a different location (even on VMware), the VM gets a new MAC address. Only "restore to same locations" preserves the MAC address.
The Linux address assignment can be adjusted to that depending on the distro. There are conversations about this since probably 15 years on the forums when using Veeam Replication![:-)]( "Smile")
There are currently no plans to potentially create significant network issues by duplicating MAC addresses where customers might not be aware of it.
Best regards
Hannes
