4. (Optional) Deselect Start the desktop immediately after restoration.

   If you do so, manually start the desktop after the restoration is complete.

5. Click Yes. You can check whether data is successfully restored on the Backups tab of Desktop Backups or on the Workspace console.

   When the status of the desktop changes to Available, the restoration is successful.

   

   If the restoration takes a long time, click the target backup name in the backup list. On the backup details page, check the value of Instant Restore Support. If the value is No, the current backup is not an enhanced backup. Therefore, the restoration takes a long time. You are advised to manually create a full backup for the resources. The new backup is an enhanced backup and can then be used to restore resources.
