Recovering an ECS from the Recycle Bin

Scenarios

Constraints

  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and project.
  3. Click . Under Compute, click Elastic Cloud Server.
  4. Click the Recycle Bin tab.
  5. In the recycle bin list, locate the ECS to be recovered and click Recover in the Operation column.

    The Recover ECS page is displayed.

  6. Click Submit.
    • If the recovery is successful, the ECS is displayed in the ECS list and the ECS status is Running.
