Hello,

there is already a snapshot id included in the list restore jobs response, BUT the problem arises with sharded instances: If you restore a sharded instance to a specific backup, multiple restore jobs are created (one for config server, one for each shard). Thus, the snapshot id in the list restore jobs response refers to the backup of the single component (either config server or shard) and not to the overall backup of the entire sharded instance the restore was initiated for.

Hence, you cannot map those restore jobs to the backup the restore was triggered for, which makes it difficult for us to display the status of the overall restore.

Suggestion: Add to the list restore jobs response the backup id the restore was initiated with.
