Which Kubernetes restore type option is available in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI?

Question

Options

• ARestore Only PVCs
• BRestore Namespace and Select PVCs
• CRestore to Original Namespace
• DAuto-Replicate All Cluster Configurations

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  6% (2)
• C
  91% (29)

Explanation

Restore to Original Namespace (C) is a valid restore type option in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, allowing recovered workloads to be placed back into the same Kubernetes namespace from which they were originally protected - preserving the original resource configuration and location.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Restore Only PVCs) is not a standalone restore type in the UI; PVC restoration is handled as part of broader namespace or workload restores, not as an isolated option.
• B (Restore Namespace and Select PVCs) conflates two separate concepts - while you can select specific PVCs during a restore, this exact phrasing does not represent a named restore type in the UI.
• D (Auto-Replicate All Cluster Configurations) is fabricated; PowerProtect Data Manager does not have such an option, and replication is a separate protection operation, not a restore type.

Memory tip: Think of the restore flow as "go back to where you came from" - Original Namespace is the most intuitive default restore destination, which is why it's the option that actually exists in the UI. If an option sounds overly complex or mixes unrelated concepts (replicate + restore), it's likely a distractor.
