Restoring a block volume from a backup in OCI provides flexibility and options for scaling and recovery:
Restoring to a Larger Volume Size: When restoring a block volume from a backup, you have the option to restore it to a volume that is larger than the original. This is particularly useful if you anticipate needing more storage capacity after the restore.
Full and Incremental Backups: OCI supports both full and incremental backups. You can restore from any backup type, which makes it possible to restore data efficiently depending on the backup strategy used.
Multiple Restores: Multiple volumes can be restored from a single backup, providing flexibility in disaster recovery scenarios.
Availability Domain: The restored volume can be created in any availability domain within the same region, not necessarily the same one where the original volume was located.
