Recovering cloud assets

You can restore AWS, Azure, Azure Stack Hub, OCI, and GCP VM assets from snapshot copy, backup copy, or duplicate copy. For AWS, you can restore from a replica copy too. You can also restore backup images from AWS EC2 or Azure VMs to on-premises VMware VMs.

While restoring VMs, NetBackup gives you the option to change certain parameters of the original backup or snapshot copy. Including options like changing the VM display name, changing power options of the VM, removing tag associations during restore, and restoring to an alternate network. You can also restore VMs to an alternate configuration, to a different zone, to a different subscription, and restore VMs or disks to a different resource group.

  • For GCP: Select Firewall rule.

  • For Azure: Select Network security group.

  • For AWS: Select Security group.

  • For OCI: Select Network security group.
