For Proxmox VMs, you can restore full VMs, guest files and folders. You can initiate a restore operation from the Virtual machines page, from the VM groups page, or from the detail page for a VM.
End users can restore VMs either in place or out of place. For this scenario, the VM display name is the only value the user can change on the Restore options dialog box. If the VM display name is the same as an existing VM on the destination, the restore fails.
