1. A method, comprising:
identifying restore instance types associated with a cloud provider, each restore instance being associated with a bandwidth tier;
performing a search on less than all of the restore instance types for each bandwidth tier, wherein the search is a binary search;
for restore instance types not included in the search and included in a calibration table, interpolating results in the calibration table for restore instance types not included in the search;
determining an optimal restore instance type from the restore instance types based on the search and based, in part, on a calibration run performed using a calibration data protection operation of a test VM; and
performing a data protection operation with a restore virtual machine based on the optimal restore instance type.
