A Restore is the workflow to bring back the backed up VMs from a TrilioVault Snapshot.
TrilioVault does offer 2 types of restores:
One Click restore
Selective restore
The One Click Restore will bring back all VMs from the Snapshot in the same state as they were backed up. They will:
be located in the same cluster in the same datacenter
use the same storage domain
connect to the same network
have the same flavor
The user can't change any Metadata.
The One Click Restore requires, that the original VM's that have been backed up are deleted or otherwise lost. If even one VM is still existing, will the One Click Restore fail.
The One Click Restore will automatically update the Workload to protect the restored VMs.
There are 2 possibilities to start a One Click Restore.

The Selective Restore is the most complex restore TrilioVault has to offer. It allows to adapt the restored VMs to the exact needs of the User.
With the selective restore the following things can be changed:
Which VMs are getting restored
Name of the restored VMs
Which networks to connect with
Which Storage domain to use
Which DataCenter / Cluster to restore into
Which flavor the restored VMs will use
The Selective Restore is always available and doesn't have any prerequirements.
