Recovering from disaster with backups on S3 storage

[Ascar]

Re: Can the backups created by one XO be restored inside another XO?
@olivierlambert I have a different scenario: a single physical node with XO and a few VMs. The node crashes irreparably. Before the crash I had all metadata and VMs backed up to an S3 endpoint.

If I get a new physical server and install XCP-NG onto it - is there a way to restore VMs from that S3 backup?

Thank you

Yes, simply re-deploy a fresh XO(A), and reconnect the S3, you'll see all your previous backup.

@olivierlambert Thank you. When you say 'reconnect the S3' do you mean recreate the Remotes and then in Backup/Restore click on the Refresh backups list button?

Yes.
