Restore from a snapshot in its original region

This feature is applicable only for supported resources. After browsing, select the snapshot and click Restore. Depending on the type of snapshot, you can change the selected availability zone or subnet. For Azure, you can specify a name for the restored VM and change the resource group too. If you do not want to specify a name, select the Use auto generated checkbox for Cloud Snapshot Manager to automatically assign a name using Azure VM naming conventions.

For GCP, you can specify a name for the restored VM and change the Subnet present within the same project and region. If you do not want to specify a name, select the Use auto-generated checkbox for Cloud Snapshot Manager to automatically assign a name using GCP VM naming conventions.

If you want to customize restoring a VM, click Advanced and select Virtual Machine Recovery.

For AWS, customize the volumes to restore, select the network, or select Security Groups settings.

For Azure, select the disks to restore and provide other relevant details. Here too, for Azure, you can specify a name for the restored VM or auto generate one.

In GCP, it is possible to choose the specific data disk to restore, however the root disk is automatically selected and cannot be deselected during the restoration process. Along with this, you also have the flexibility to select other components such as the Zone, Network, Subnet, and NIC.

NOTE:  If a VM has a regional disk attached and an advance restore is required, then the restore can only be performed in the original VM's zone.

To complete the restore process, click Restore Now.

When a Virtual Machine (VM) is restored, if there is a Primary Private IPv4 address conflict, that is, if the original VM is present in stopped or running state, the restored VM is assigned a new Primary Private IPv4 address. If you continue with the restore, there could be a hostname conflict on the network and domain controller override. Ensure that there is no hostname conflict before the VM is restored.

NOTE:  Aurora: When an Aurora cluster is restored, if more than one database instance is restored, Cloud Snapshot Manager generates the read-only database instance identifier based on the database instance identifier provided. AWS sets the availability zone of read-only database instances internally, and it might not be the same as the backed-up value. DynamoDB: You can choose which replica regions to use to restore the Global table. By default, all the replica regions are selected, but you can select the regions of your choice for restore. It is mandatory to select at least one replica region from the table as it is a Global table restore.
