    In the Restore wizard, a calendar displays all the data recovery points. Click Google VM instances.

    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.

    Select the disks that you want to restore and click Restore.
