Viewing the parameters of backup disks and partitions
To avoid errors when recovering from a backup, start by comparing the parameters of the disks and partitions of the backup against those of the VM or Yandex BareMetal server.
If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.
The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using --folder-name or --folder-id. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.
