NetBackup™ Web UI Cloud Administrator's Guide

(GCP only) Restoring virtual machines and volumes using the autoDelete disk support

When taking a snapshot or backup from snapshot of a source VM, additional information about disks is saved. The autoDelete flag determines whether to delete the disk when deleting the VM. Hence, if a new VM is created from snapshot or backup from snapshot, then disks are set as the source VM.

For example,

Source VM:

Disk1: autoDelete is set to true (When the source VM is deleted and autoDelete is set to true then the disk is deleted automatically)

Disk2: autoDelete is set to false.

Restored VM:

Disk1_suffix: autoDelete is set to true.

Disk2_suffix: autoDelete is set to false.
