Restore Archived Snapshots to a Volume
Druva CloudRanger allows you to restore snapshots archived to S3 storage to a volume, with options to restore backups across Accounts or Regions.
To restore an archived snapshot to a volume:
- Log into your Druva CloudRanger console and navigate to Resources > EBS.
- Navigate to the Backups tab and apply the S3 Archive filter to view archived snapshots.
By default, Snapshots and S3 Archive are displayed under EBS Backups.
-
Select the archived snapshot that you wish to restore, and then click Restore.
Note: Temporary resources will be required to restore snapshots from S3 Archives, and CloudRanger will trigger a notification before initiating the restore.
4. Click Proceed.
The Restore Snapshot page displays an overview of the snapshot with the associated tags.
5. Select the Restore as a volume option.
Note: When restoring a snapshot from S3 Archive, the File level recovery and Restore as an instance option will remain disabled. These features will be supported as part of upcoming enhancements.
