Restore Parameters

During restore, the Proxmox Plugin will use the same parameters which were set for the backup job and saved in the Catalog. Some of them may be changed during the restore process if required.

storage: <storage>

specifies a Proxmox Storage where restored guest VMs will be restored to. If not set, then a guest VM will be restored to the Proxmox Storage it was backed up from. If this parameter points to a nonexistent Storage, the original Storage of the guest VM will be used.

This parameter is optional.

pool: <resourcepool>

specifies a Proxmox Resource Pool to which a restored guest VM will be attached. If not set, a restored guest VM will have no Resource Pool attached. When this parameter indicates a nonexistent pool, no pool will be attached.

This parameter is optional.

sequentialvmid: <yes or no>

specifies what new VMID allocation procedure to use. If set to yes, the new guest VM will get the first available VMID based on the maximum VMID found on the Proxmox hypervisor. Otherwise, the restored guest VM will get a randomly generated VMID in a range of 10 above the highest used VMID found on the Proxmox hypervisor. This is the default.

Setting sequentialvmid: yes mitigates some conflicts which may occur during concurrent restores.
