Cloning an instance
You can clone an instance by restoring it to its original or a new location with custom settings. In this case, you create a new instance containing the restored data alongside the original instance. When cloning an instance, you can change the following properties: the selection of the backed-up disks, the destination source, region, and zone, and the instance network configuration.
