492+ * The service account must have Root Admin privileges for restore operations
493+ to succeed.
493494* Restore operations always result in **deployment of a new instance **
494495 rather than restoring an existing instance in place. The
495496 administrators must update the corresponding backup jobs for the new
496497 instance if needed.
497- * During restore, it is recommended to not select the option to power on the instance
498- immediately. This allows administrators to first verify the restored instance
499- configuration and attach any missing networks before powering on.
498+ * During restore, it is recommended to not select the option to power on the
499+ instance immediately. This allows administrators to first verify the
500+ restored instance configuration and attach any missing networks before
501+ powering on.
502+ * When restore is done with the "Restore VM Tags" option enabled, only tags
503+ with the "veeam_tag" prefix are restored. Other tags are not restored
504+ because they are not accessible to Veeam. The key suffix after "veeam_tag"
505+ may differ from the original, but the tag value is preserved.
500506* Certain configurations, such as affinity groups, host tags, and
501507 storage tags, are not followed during restore operations because host
502508 and storage selection is managed by Veeam.
503509* Networking rules such as static NAT, port forwarding, etc for the
504510 restored instance are not applied during restore. Administrators must
505511 manually apply any necessary rules after restore completes.
512+ * Resource icons, resource tags (except those with the "veeam_tag" prefix),
513+ and other non-essential metadata are not preserved during backup and
514+ restore operations.
506515* Operations on the instance and its volumes should not be performed
