Selective restore
The selective restore is the most complex restore NetBackup for OpenStack has to offer. It allows to adapt the restored virtual machines to the exact needs of the user.
With the selective restore the following things can be changed:
Which virtual machines are getting restored.
Name of the restored virtual machines
Which networks to connect with.
Which Storage domain to use
Which datacenter or cluster to restore into.
Which flavor the restored virtual machines will use.
The selective restore is always available and does not have any prerequirements.
