      Having the flag "Protect from accidental deletion" has since yesterday left me with plenty of restored VMs. In the backup logs, it indicates that this happens during the healthcheck.

      This has happened on 3 out of 6 VMs
      Update: The other 3 VMs were opt-out from Healthchecks. So that is why this didn't affect them.

        Not that this is an answer, but what happens if you uncheck the deletion box, and delete them manually?

          @Greg_E i think protection is doing its job. do not delete.
          but in case of healthcheck, the process should bypass that for the restored VM

          thoughts @bastien-nollet @florent ?

              Manually unchecking makes the problem go away..
              And I can also delete manually (after unchecking the HC-vms)

                @florent I did healthchecks one month or two ago.. I do not remember precisely

                but I didn't have this bug.

                so either specific to OP installation, or there is a regression somewhere
