At the Restore Mode step of the wizard, choose whether you want to restore Amazon EC2 instances to the original or new location:

To restore EC2 instances with initial settings to the original AWS region, select Restore to the original location. If you select this option, you will pass directly to the Reason step of the wizard.

Note

The Restore to the original location option is not available in the following cases:

If the specified IAM role differs from the role used to perform EC2 instance backup.
If the original EC2 instances were removed from the original location.

To restore EC2 instances to a different AWS region or with different settings, select Restore to a new location, or with different settings.

If you select this option, the Restore to Amazon EC2 wizard will include additional steps for specifying the target AWS region and EC2 instance settings. The default values on these steps are taken from the original VM settings.
