Data Recovery

In various disaster recovery scenarios, you can perform the following restore operations using backed-up data:

  • Restore of VM instances — restore VM instances from cloud-native snapshots or image-level backups to the original location or to a new location.
  • Restore of Cloud SQL instances — restore Cloud SQL instances from cloud-native snapshots or image-level backups to the original location or to a new location.
  • Instant Recovery — immediately restore VM instances from image-level backups to VMware vSphere and Hyper-V environments, and to Nutanix AHV clusters.
  • Restore to AWS — restore VM instances from image-level backups to AWS as EC2 instances.
  • Restore to Microsoft Azure — restore VM instances from image-level backups to Microsoft Azure as Azure VMs.
  • Restore to Nutanix AHV — restore VM instances from image-level backups to Nutanix AHV as Nutanix AHV VMs.

Note

You can perform all recovery operations using restore points stored in standard repositories. For restore points stored in archive repositories, only restore to Google Cloud is supported.
