Hi Team,

I have created a VM and also configured Backup for it.
As per my understanding we can able to restore the VM from Snapshot(Instant Restore Method) before it moves to vault .
But here the Issue is am not getting that Restore option enabled until it moves to vault .

Screenshots:

    When the VM is configured for Backup, we would see warning as "initial backup pending".
    On triggering backup and backup snapshot phase is complete, it will only show as snapshot in the restore point.
    Restore VM/file recovery both would be enabled to restore. Please check all the screenshots provided below. If any issues kindly post back.

    This is newly created VM configured for backup. Please note that the restore point aren’t still available but last backup status is shown as “initial backup pending”

    After I had triggered backup & snapshot is done , then we can still see the "job status as in progress"

    It says "snapshot completed" and snapshot is visible as restore point. Please go through the below screenshot.
