Backup Recovery

{{ $t('productDocDetail.updateTime') }}: 2026-01-05

Description

This section guides the administrator in restoring the backup virtual machine.

Precautions

After a VM (either newly created or overwritten) is recovered, its disk provisioning mode changes to thin provisioning, which will compromise performance. You can go to Compute > List, select the VM, go to More > Edit, click Disk, and then select Pre-allocating for Allocation.

Prerequisites

  1. The virtual machine that needs to be restored has backup files before the operation.
  2. Manual recovery is not supported for backup files moved to the recycle bin.

Precautions

  1. After restoring the virtual machine (whether a new one or overwriting the original virtual machine), the disk allocation mode becomes thin provisioning, leading to performance degradation. You can manually go to Compute and move to the selected Virtual Machine. Then, click More > Edit > Disk to adjust the settings to pre-allocating.

Steps

  1. On the Compute page, move to the selected virtual machine and click More.
  2. Click Backups to find the backup file of the virtual machine.

  1. Click Recover to restore the corresponding backup file. You can choose to Create a new one or Overwrite the existing one to restore.
