Revert to snapshot

You can revert to a prior snapshot of a storage volume.

NOTE: Reverting to a snapshot of the storage volume will result in loss of current data in the storage volume. Perform a backup or take a snapshot of the storage volume before reverting it to a snapshot.

If you revert a volume to a snapshot, the current volume size is not affected. The volume will not shrink if you revert to a snapshot of that volume from when it was smaller.

See About snapshots for more information on snapshots.

Prerequisites

Required privileges: Infrastructure administrator, Server administrator, or Storage administrator
The volume has been unmounted from the server profile with which it is associated by disabling the volume attachment storage path in the server profile.
