Instant restore (disaster recovery)
Instant restore provides a rapid virtual machine recovery. It restores the machine’s configuration files to the VMware datastore, prepares a virtual machine, and mounts the disks to run directly from the backup copy. This allows the Xopero ONE administrator to start using the virtual machine almost immediately, without waiting for the full restore to complete.
Instant restore is not intended for production use and should be used only for disaster recovery. For restoring production data, use the whole VM recovery option.
Restoration process
Open the Storages tab in .
Select the browse 
button and choose the vault where the virtual machine backup is located.
When the backup of a virtual machine is stored in cloud storage, the instant restore feature may work slower because it requires random-access read operations.
Select the backup plan and the version of the virtual machine you want to restore.
After choosing the backup plan and VM version, click Restore under the backup copy you wish to recover and select the Instant restore option from the drop-down list.
Specify whether to restore the VM to its original location or a new one:
Original location — the original location option automatically applies all settings from the backup, restoring the virtual machine to the same ESXi/vCenter, datastore, compute resource, and VM folder, with the same virtual network configuration. The only setting you can modify is the VM name.
New location — this option allows you to manually choose the location to which the VM will be restored and adjust additional settings:
VMware environment — this field allows you to select the ESXi host or vCenter where the data will be restored (the list displays only servers that are connected to Xopero ONE).
Compute resource — lets you choose the compute resource infrastructure to process the recovered data.
Datastore — the location where the virtual machine files will be stored. Xopero ONE operates within the selected VMware environment.
VM folder — lets you select the specific directory on the datastore where the VM will be restored.
Virtual network — allows you to select your virtual network resource.
Enter the VM's name, and click Next.
Decide whether the restored machine should start automatically and select the port to use.
Double-check your settings and start the restoration process by clicking the Start now button.
The machine will be available on your VMware server. If everything is configured correctly, a new entry will appear in the Tasks tab and will remain active until you stop it.
After you finish working with the machine, you can shut it down by canceling the current instant restore job. To do this, click the X button and confirm that you want to cancel the instant restore task.
