Snapshot and backup overview
Each recovery point contains information about the snapshot and the backup copies. This information can be seen in the recovery point overview.
If a nova-booted instance is migrated from one compute node to another after the snapshot operation is completed, backup or restore from the snapshot copy is not supported.
If a backup copy is mounted on a file recovery manager instance, you must unmount the backup copy to take the backup of the file recovery manager instance.
To reach the recovery point overview follow these steps:
On the Horizon console, navigate to NBOS Backups > Protection.
Identify the protection that contains the recovery point to show.
Click the protection name to enter the protection overview.
Navigate to the Recovery Points tab.
Identify the searched recovery point in the recovery point list.
Click the recovery point name.

Specify --output metadata for recovery point metadata.
Specify --output networks for snapshot virtual machines networks.
Specify --output disks for snapshot virtual machines disks.
Specify --output copies to list all the copies (snapshot, backup, and duplicate copies).
Note:
OpenStack does not let you launch an instance without a network interface. The snapshot of the instance that does not have any network interface attached to it cannot be restored using the selective restore or one-click restore options. However, you can use in-place restore, which does not launch an instance.
