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.
