Restore from cloud connect provider

[JaySt]

I'm checking the v5 release notes and came across this one in the known issues of the B&R Console section:

You cannot perform Entire VM Restore to Nutanix AHV from a Veeam Cloud Connect repository or an
external repository. However, you can use Instant Recovery to restore VMs to Nutanix AHV from Veeam
Cloud Connect or external repositories.

i can't really understand the reasoning behind this. Can someone please elaborate why you'd be able to use instant recovery from a VCSP and not entire VM Restore?

Hey @JaySt, It wasn't that we preferred to implement instant recovery vs. image-level restore but rather that it was the most efficacious way for us to provide a way to accomplish recovery of AHV backups from Cloud Connect providers. At this time I don't have any estimates I can share as to when image-level restore might be available.
