- Backup Instance: Storage group that the database (or databases) belongs to.
- Databases: Number of databases restored. A database consists of an EDB and an STM file.NOTE: The next four values (Database Name, GUID, Source Files, and Destination Files) refer to one database. If multiple databases are restored, these values are shown once for each database.
