Option to overwrite resources when doing retore

When doing a restore of resources, you have to previously delete the ones you want to restore. This is really complicated for customers and other backup SW allows "overwrite" including a tick on the restore process

    Of course it is a really good first step. In fact, we have used it already. But customer commented that it would be great to have such setting enabled at UI level to avoid writting recipes just to be able to overwrite.

    So in summary, it is great to have the feature there but it should be easier to use it.

    We have introduced an overwrite resource option in 2.7; see documentation topic: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/storage-fusion-software/2.7.x?topic=workflows-creating-recipe


    specifically: restoreOverwriteResources: Specify whether to overwrite resources during restore. By default, the value is false. If this field is set, then you must specify backupRef.


    Is this sufficient to satisfy this request?
