Restore Plugin Parameters

During restore, the XenServer Plugin will use the same parameters which were set for the backup job and saved. Some of them may be changed during the restore process if required. You can change all the parameters described in chapter Generic Plugin Parameters during restore.

• storage_res: <storage> specifies a XenServer Storage Repository where restored guest VMs will be saved. If not set, then a guest VM will be saved to a XenServer Storage Repository configured as the default. This parameter is optional.

• preserve: <yes or no> (this option is deprecated and works for legacy (*.xva) restores only) specifies if a restore job should preserve as much guest VM configuration parameters as possible. The default is to create a new VM on restore. A restore job with this preserve option set to ’yes’ could fail if the restore might create duplicate objects on the XenServer hypervisor. This parameter is optional.
