How do I restore a backup snapshot?

Once you have enabled auto backup, or taken an on-demand snapshot of your server, you can restore or roll back to this snapshot very easily.

1 – Navigate to the Storage / Backups Tab in your dediserve GUI.

2 – Click the Restore Link next to the Backup image you wish to restore from.

3 – Confirm the warning.

NOTE: Restoring a backup image follows this process:

  1. Server will shut down
  2. Disk will be formatted
  3. Backup disk image will be loaded to disk
  4. Server will boot up again

WARNING: As you can see, restoring the backup image rolls the server back to the point in time of the backup. It will destroy ALL data on the disk that was changed or added since the backup timestamp.
