Description: Restoring a snapshot is the process of reverting a virtual machine to a previous snapshot state. This process is fundamental in managing virtualized environments, as it allows system administrators to quickly recover a virtual machine to a specific point in time. Snapshots are copies of a virtual machine’s state at a given moment, including its configuration, hard disk, and memory. By restoring a snapshot, changes made after the snapshot was taken are removed, which can be useful in error situations, such as software failures, incorrect configurations, or malware attacks. This mechanism not only provides a way for disaster recovery but also facilitates testing and development, allowing users to experiment with configurations without the risk of losing data or functionality. In various virtualization platforms, snapshot restoration is efficiently integrated, providing administrators with tools to effectively manage and maintain the stability of their virtual machines.
