Restores for OCI

From Oracle Cloud Infrastructure backups (OCI), you can restore guest files or full instances.

Restore Flow

1. Create boot volume as follows:

   1. Fetch source image information from the index.

   2. Create a temporary instance using fetched image and boot volume size.

   3. Delete the instance and keep the boot volume.

2. Create empty volumes in the proxy AD.

3. Attach volumes to the proxy.

4. Write data to volumes from backup media.

5. Detach volumes from the proxy.

6. If the proxy is in a different AD than the destination AD, do the following:

   1. Create volume snapshots of the volumes created in the proxy AD.

   2. Re-create volumes in the destination AD from the volume snapshots created in step 6a, above.

   3. Delete the volumes that were created in the proxy AD.

7. Create a new instance using boot volume.

8. Attach the remaining block volumes to the restored instance.
