BACKUP / VM BACKUPS

Restore

Choose a disk recovery method using the required snapshot. Check the VM, volume and date before proceeding.

Safest method for preserving the original VM

Use Separate VM from a template to validate recovery in another instance while preserving the original disks. Configure a controlled network for the new VM before starting it.

Method	How it works
Revert to Snapshot	Replaces current volume contents with the snapshot. Subsequent changes on that disk are lost.
Create a new disk	Creates a volume from the snapshot and attaches it as ROOT after detaching the current disk. The original disk remains separate.
Separate VM from a template	Creates a template from the snapshot and a new instance for restore validation, preserving the original VM.

Keep the VM powered off during rollback or ROOT replacement. Start it only after the operation completes, then verify the restored system and data.
