What happens if a virtual machine is deleted in the vCenter and a new virtual machine with the same name is created?

In this scenario, even though the name of the virtual machine is same, the new virtual machine will have different GUID/UUID. Therefore, it is recommended to perform following steps:

1. In the CommCell console, delete the virtual machine client from the list of client computers

2. Perform the backup of the virtual machine. A client will get created again for the virtual machine.

If you do not perform these steps, a new client will get created for the virtual machine with name as follows: <original_virtual_machine_name>_1.
