    • 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.
