Restored a snapshot by mistake
Restoring a snapshot will overwrite the contents of your current state with the contents of the snapshot being restored. When a snapshot is restored, Nuvolos automatically creates a backup snapshot of the current state before overwriting its content. Therefore, to revert a snapshot restoration operation, you can simply restore the backup snapshot that was automatically created after the first restoration operation.
For example, say you have a snapshot called Snapshot1 in your instance. By mistake, you restore Snapshot1, and two things happen:
- 1.Nuvolos creates a backup snapshot of your current state with its existing content (suppose it's called Snapshot1_backup), then
- 2.Nuvolos overwrites contents of the current state with the contents of Snapshot1.
If you have accidentally restored Snapshot1 and you want to revert this operation, you can restore Snapshot1_backup which will again overwrite the contents of the current state with what it had before the first snapshot restoration was performed.
