Is there a way that a bulk restore can be added. It looks like individual machines can only be restored one at a time from backup source.

While several staff members do participate in this forum every day (thanks for that!) it is recommended to document feature requests at https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/ - then it is more visible and won't get forgotten.
Please report back a link to that "bug" here.
you can bulk restore by calling 'pct restore' / 'qmrestore' (or the corresponding API endpoints, or if you do it manually, also the restore feature in the GUI). there is nothing that forces you to only restore backups one at a time, other than possible contention on some locks (e.g., allocating a new disk may require obtaining a storage-wide lock for a short amount of time to prevent naming conflicts). I recommend staggering and batching the restores, you likely won't benefit from having more than a few restores running in parallel if the backup source and the storage target are identical across the jobs.
I usually wipe the server and restore the VM's from backup when I run into an serious issue. I usually try to make a working backup of all my vm's before I wipe my vm server.
