recover

See also: delete, purge

The multipass recover command will revive an instance that was previously removed with multipass delete. For this to be possible, the instance cannot have been purged with multipass purge nor with multipass delete --purge.

Use the --all option to recover all deleted instances at once:

multipass recover --all
