Creating a new Instance from Backup
165+
-----------------------------------
166+
167+
Since 4.21, Users can create a new Instance from a backup. The backup table will also store
168+
the instance configuration details at the time of taking the backup such as service offering,
169+
template, disk offering of all data volumes, networks attached to etc.
170+
The new Instance will be created with the same configuration as the original Instance
171+
from which the backup was taken with all the data from the backup.

174+
175+
Users can also choose to configure the new Instance with different parameters similar to while deploying a new Instance.
176+
The form will be initially prefilled with the values stored in the backup.

179+
180+
This will also work if the original Instance and the volumes used to create the backup are expunged.
181+
If one or few of the resources stored in the backup such as template, networks etc are no longer available
182+
in the system, the user will be prompted to reconfigure the Instance before creating it from backup.
183+
This feature is supported for Dummy, NAS and Veeam plugins.
