Restore Parameters

Nutanix AHV Restore Parameters

Parameter

Values

Default

Description

disconnect_network

[<0 or 1>]

0

Specifies whether restored network interfaces should be disconnected from their network.

network_address

<String>

Specified when a network interface should request a static IP address at restore. Takes a name:ip_address tuple.

See the FileSet examples.

new_hostname

<String>

Specified when a guest VM should be restored with a specific name.

where

<String>

If this parameter is set, then the disks will be restored locally at the parameter value location.

Each disk will be restored as <where>/<uuid>.disk file.

During restore the Nutanix-AHV Plugin uses the generic plugin parameters to access the Nutanix-AHV API. The parameters may be modified if necessary at restore time.

A restore job can only restore one guest VM at a time. To select the relevant VM the user should interact with Bacula bconsole and mark all files in the guest VM folder identified by its UUID.

Warning

It is important to include the relevant .name file in the restoration tree to descriminate between files at restore time. Especially if more than one VM in the backup job.
