From an Amazon EC2 instance backup, you can restore an instance volume and attach it to an existing instance.
Important
Commvault does not restore Amazon EBS gp3 IOPS values or throughput values. Default values are set by the restore operation. You can modify the default values after the restore is complete. The default IOPS value is 3000. The default throughput value is 125MB/s.
Prerequisites
If a passkey is configured for restores, you must have the passkey.
