Restore a network volume from a backup

When restoring from network volume backups in single-zone pools, a new volume is created with the same type and size as the original. In a multi-zone pool, when restoring from a backup, you can create a volume of a different type and in a different pool segment.

Backup recovery time depends on the backup size. For example, a 100 GB backup will be restored in 11 minutes. During the recovery process, the network volume for which the backup was created will be in the RESTORING-BACKUP status.

Restoring from a backup to the original volume or to a new cloud server is not possible. You can attach the restored volume to a cloud server or create a new server from it.
