Restore from a Backup

HTTP request

POST https://backupdr.googleapis.com/v1/{name=projects/*/locations/*/backupVaults/*/dataSources/*/backups/*}:restore

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters
name

string

Required. The resource name of the Backup instance, in the format 'projects/*/locations/*/backupVaults/*/dataSources/*/backups/'.

Request body

The request body contains data with the following structure:

JSON representation 
{
  "requestId": string,

  // Union field target_environment can be only one of the following:
  "computeInstanceTargetEnvironment": {
    object (ComputeInstanceTargetEnvironment)
  }
  // End of list of possible types for union field target_environment.

  // Union field instance_properties can be only one of the following:
  "computeInstanceRestoreProperties": {
    object (ComputeInstanceRestoreProperties)
  }
  // End of list of possible types for union field instance_properties.
}
Fields
requestId

string

Optional. An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed. The server will guarantee that for at least 60 minutes after the first request.

For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.

The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).
Union field target_environment. The target environment for the restore operation. target_environment can be only one of the following:
computeInstanceTargetEnvironment

object (ComputeInstanceTargetEnvironment)

Compute Engine target environment to be used during restore.
Union field instance_properties. The property overrides for the instance being restored. instance_properties can be only one of the following:
computeInstanceRestoreProperties

object (ComputeInstanceRestoreProperties)

Compute Engine instance properties to be overridden during restore.

Response body

If successful, the response body contains an instance of Operation.
