You can restore instances (VMs) in place or to a new destination. Restores are supported for both Windows and Linux clients.
For maximum throughput, the VSA proxy used for restore must be in the same Amazon account and located in the same region as the destination instance.
Considerations
-
Commvault supports the multi-region key capability for streaming, snap, and backup copies. See Creating Multi-Region keys, for information on how to replicate keys from one AWS Region to another.
-
For both in-place and out-of-place restores, the restored instance is assigned a new instance ID that is different from the source instance.
-
AWS tags set by users for an Amazon instance are backed up and restored.
-
When you restore encrypted volumes from streaming backups or IntelliSnap backup copies, if the encryption key (default or custom) is present in the destination region, then the volumes are restored with the same key. Otherwise, the volumes are restored with AWS EBS default encryption. When you restore from a secondary snapshot copy, default and custom encrypted volumes are restored with the encryption key that was tagged with cvlt-ec2 or cvlt-master (or uses an alias that refers to cvlt-ec2 or cvlt-master). For more information, see Amazon EBS Encryption and Configuring Replication of AWS-Encrypted Snapshots with IntelliSnap for Amazon.
