When restoring a volume using NetApp Cloud Backup Service, which location is NOT an option for restoration?

The correct answer indicates that restoring a volume from a different AWS account is not an option when using the NetApp Cloud Backup Service. The restoration process typically allows the user to restore data to a source volume, a new volume within the same environment, or a new volume in another environment managed under the same account.

Restoring to the source volume is a common practice, as it directly replaces or recovers data back to the original location where it was stored. Creating a new volume in the same environment offers flexibility for data management and ensures that the existing structures and configurations remain intact while allowing for seamless recovery. Similarly, the option to create a new volume in a different environment facilitates cross-environment data migration and is useful for scenarios like disaster recovery or migrating workloads.

In contrast, restoring to a same volume from a different AWS account is not supported because it introduces complexities around permissions, access control, and data integrity. Each AWS account maintains its own set of resources and policies, making direct volume restoration across accounts impractical within the standard processes outlined by NetApp Cloud Backup Service. Thus, this option stands out as not viable for restoration purposes.
