In-place restore
The in-place restore covers those use cases, where the virtual machine 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 virtual machine and the original volume are still available and connected. NetBackup for OpenStack is checks the status with the saved Object-ID.
The in-place restore will not create any new RHV resources. Use one of the other restore options if new volumes or virtual machines are required.
The in-place restore restarts the instance.
Note:
The in-place restore does not support a restore from the snapshot.
Note:
In-place restore fails if the properties of the instances that existed at the time of backup do not exist at the time of restore.
