Users can only restore a backup for a deployed virtual machine. If you undeploy a VM and then deploy it again, you can restore backups for this VM.
Technical details
When the user deploys, reconfigures or undeploys a virtual machine, Abiquo will include a new job called BACKUP_SCHEDULE in that task. If the job fails because Abiquo cannot schedule the backup, then the virtual machine operation will roll back. As before events from the backup system are incorporated into Abiquo and streamed by the outbound API.

changes
There are new Abiquo API methods for working with backups. Previously, developers could create a backup integration using virtual machine metadata and events. Now developers should upgrade their integration to use the new API methods for backups, with new data media types. The Abiquo UI now works with the Abiquo API instead of virtual machine metadata. So backup results and restores in virtual machine metadata is valid but it will not be visible through the Abiquo UI. Backup results cannot be written using the Abiquo API.
