restore-from-backup

Enforces backup retention policies by removing old backups

This task handles the process of restoring a DRP endpoint from a previously created backup archive. For HA clusters, it coordinates the restoration across all nodes and rebuilds the cluster.

The task performs the following operations:

  1. Locates the specified backup archive in the archive directory
  2. Creates a symlink to make the backup available via the DRP fileserver
  3. Creates work orders on all backup runner machines to download and extract the backup
  4. Monitors all work orders until completion
  5. For HA clusters - rebuilds the cluster by self-enrolling the first node and joining others
  6. Cleans up the symlink after restoration
