Step 2. Select Restore Point

At the Instances step of the wizard, select a restore point that will be used to recover files and folders of the selected VM instance. By default, Veeam Plug-In for Google Cloud uses the most recent restore point. However, you can recover the items to an earlier state.

To select a restore point, do the following:

  1. Select the VM instance.
  2. Click Choose Restore Point.
  3. In the Select restore point window, select the necessary restore point and click Apply.

To help you choose a restore point, Veeam Plug-In for Google Cloud provides the following information on each available restore point:

  • Creation Time — the date when the restore point was created.
  • Destination — the type of the restore point:
  • Snapshot — a cloud-native snapshot created by a backup policy.
  • Manual Snapshot — a cloud-native snapshot created manually.
  • Backup — an image-level backup created by a backup policy.
  • State — the result of the latest health check performed for the restore point.
  • Storage Class — the storage class of a backup repository where the restore point is stored (applies only to image-level backups).
  • Project — a project that manages the protected VM instance.
  • Region — a region in which the protected VM instance resides.
  • Retention — a retention configured for the backup policy that created the restore point.
