When performing a SQL Server Restore Source Database operation in Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB), an administrator might choose the Restore Location as New Location if they want to restore to a new location and have Era apply Nutanix best practices1. This is because Nutanix Era automates and simplifies database management, allowing the administrator to manage databases at scale, and it applies Nutanix best practices during the restore process1. This ensures optimal performance and reliability of the restored database1.
