Continue with full appliance restore from a backup? (<Y>/n): y

A full appliance restore can either be done from:

1. A local backup. I.e. a backup created on this appliance.
2. A backup transferred from an another server. (Either manually or automatically)
3. A backup copied to a USB stick.

A restore from the local backup, will restore this appliance to a previous known state

A restore from a backup transferred from an another server will make this appliance
a copy of the appliance the backup was created on.

A restore from a backup stored on a USB stick, will make this appliance a copy of the
appliance the backup was created on.

Optionally, vital system configuration (IP address, DNS settings etc) from this appliance,
can be preserved in all 3 cases.

All local backups will be stored in "/isodevice/persistent/backup" 
Any automatically transferred backups will be stored in "/isodevice/var/remote_restore" 
Any manually transferred backups will be stored in "/isodevice/var/transfer"
