NetBackup™ Web UI Cloud Administrator's Guide

Perform rollback recovery of cloud assets

The rollback recovery of a cloud asset overwrites the existing data on the original asset. Unlike virtual machine restore, rollback restore does not create a new copy of the restored image, but replaces the existing data on the source.

Note the following:

  • Snapshot replicas do not support rollback.

  • Azure Stack Hub, OCI, and GCP workloads do not support rollback restore.

To perform rollback recovery of the cloud asset

  1. On the left, click Workloads > Cloud.
  2. Click the Virtual Machines.

    All the discovered cloud assets for the respective category are displayed.

  3. Double-click on the protected asset you want to recover.
  4. Click the Recovery points tab. The available images are listed in rows with the backup timestamp for each image. In the Copies column, click the snapshot that you want to recover. Click Recover> Rollback restore.
  5. Click Start recovery. The existing data is overwritten.
  6. On the left, click Activity monitor > Jobs to view the job status.
