The created restore object containing the following fields:

id - Long - The ID of the restore.

status - Enumeration - The status of the restore. The following values are available: PENDING, REQUESTING, INITIALIZING, IN_PROGRESS, FAILED, SUCCESS.
- PENDING: This is the initial state of the restore once it is created. From this state the restore can be updated to the REQUESTING state.
- REQUESTING: After the status is set to REQUESTING, a restore request is sent to the Backup and Restore Engine to initialize it as a new restore.
- INITIALIZING: After the restore request is received by the Backup and Restore Engine it will update the status to INITIALIZING.
- IN_PROGRESS: After the restore process begins the status will be updated to IN_PROGRESS.
- FAILED: If the restore has completed with errors the status will be updated to FAILED.
- SUCCESS: If the restore has completed without errors the status will be updated to SUCCESS.
is_cross_deployment_restore - Boolean - If the associated backup is being restored on a different Console with a set of new managed hosts, the condition is set to 'true'; otherwise, the condition is set to 'false'.
