Restore a Backup

If you have the Restore virtual machine backups privilege privilege, the platform displays the Restore requests section. 

After you restore a backup, the virtual machine disks are under the control of the backup system, not the platform. So when you undeploy after restoring a virtual machine, the platform will display a warning popup and delete and remove the virtual machine's disks.

Request a Consecutive Restore

If your environment allows, you may request that a backup be restored more than once. If the Restore requests Status is success or failed, Abiquo will reactivate the Restore link and you can click the Restore link to request a new restore of the same backup.

Backup events

For users the backup feature will produce the events described in the Events View#Virtualmachine under METADATA_MODIFIED and RESTORE_BACKUP.
