Restore Devices

    To restore the devices of an Amazon EC2 instance, follow the steps below:

    1. Go to the Restore page, and click the Virtual Machine tile.

    In the Restore wizard, a calendar displays all the data recovery points. Click Amazon EC2.

    You can choose whether to display the finished with the exception jobs in the calendar by selecting the Include jobs with only partial backup data option.

    Hover over the data recovery point to view the job details, including the job status, job start time, scope name, scope ID, job ID, backup size, and the number of objects in a backup.

    Click the data recovery point in the calendar. The instances backed up in the selected backup job are displayed in the table.

    You can use the Account ID filter to find the instances of specific AWS account or use the Search box to search for instance via keywords in the instance name or ID. You can also manage the columns to adjust the view of instances.

    Click the instance to drill down to the devices that you want to restore, select the devices, and click Restore.

    In the Restore options step, select where you would like to restore the device data, choose a mode you want to use to run the restore job, and provide an optional description for further reference. If you choose to use the CAP Gateway mode, select a gateway from the drop-down list.

    - **Restore the data to the original location** – The devices in the original location will be overwritten and the instance it resides will be stopped if it is running. - **Restore the data to a new location, or with different settings** – Follow the steps below to choose a destination account and configure the restore settings. - **Location** – Select a destination account for the instance being restored. You can choose to restore this device to the same account when it is being backed up or select another account, and then select a region as well. > ***Note**: If you have a new account for this instance to restore, you must connect the account first through AvePoint Online Services > Tenant management. For details, refer to [Enable Backup for Amazon EC2 Instances or AWS Platform Configurations](#missing-link). - **Device** – Configure the properties for each device in the destination, such as the availability zone and the destination instance where to attach this device.
