If you've taken a snapshot of your server, you can quickly roll back to that saved state at any time. This is especially useful if you've made a change (such as a system update, software install, or misconfiguration) that caused issues.
This guide walks you through restoring your virtual machine (VM) from a previously created snapshot using the client portal.
Important Considerations
-
Restoring a snapshot will revert your server to the exact state it was in when the snapshot was taken — this includes disk, memory (if enabled), and configurations.
-
Any changes made after the snapshot was taken will be lost.
-
Snapshot rollback is instant, but cannot be undone.
