      I've been looking around, and I can't find any docs about actually restoring from a backup.

      When I attempted a restore, it said it completed, but I have no idea what was actually done.

      When I look at the backup screen in XO, under the logs, it shows a single item, but under the VM column, it states "VM not found!".

      When I look at the local storage, and list the disks, I see a number of disks, but I'm not sure which one is the one I just restored.

      Is there any documentation on restoring? I looked at https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/ but the only thing there concerns backups.

      Thanks.

        There is some information available in the docs -- https://docs.xen-orchestra.com/backups#restore-a-backup

        A new VM is created when you restore a VM from backup. The log entry should have a link that you can click to go directly to the new VM unless you have already deleted it, which is when the "VM not found!" message will appear.

          @Danp I didn't do anything but the restore, so it's not clear what happened and I'm looking for guidance on how to best proceed.

            Have you checked under Settings > Logs to see if there is any relevant information there? You could also check the XO logs by issuing journalctl -u xo-server -f -n 50 from the CLI.

              @Danp Nothing there. The most recent entry was from yesterday (24-Sep) at 00:23 about invalid credentials. Would the cli show anything further?

              Thanks.

                go to your VMs list
                be sure there is no filter (running only VMs...)

                you should see your restored VM with same name as original + timestamp of the restore operation, not running

                this is your restored VM

                  @Pilow Double checked. There's no filter in place and no new VM.
