HP Matrix 7.2 KVM Private Cloud Backup and Restore

Restore REST API Overview
The restore REST API provides REST calls to upload a backup to the appliance, start a restore, and check the restore
status. These calls are summarized in the table below. The REST API calls to start a restore require a session ID for
authorization. The session ID is obtained by issuing the REST request to log in to the appliance as a user with the
"Infrastructure Administrator" role. The REST API calls to get restore status information do not require a session ID.
