NetBackup™ for OpenStack Administrator's Guide

In-place restore

The In-place restore covers those use cases, where the VM and its volumes are still available, but the data got corrupted or needs to rollback for other reasons.

It allows the user to restore only the data of a selected volume, which is part of a backup.

The In-place restore only works when the original VM and the original volume are still available and connected. NetBackup for OpenStack is checking this by the saved Object-ID.

The In-place restore will not create any new RHV resources. Please use one of the other restore options if new volumes or VMs are required.

The In-place restore restarts the instance.
