I restored a snapshot by mistake

Restoring a snapshot overwrites the contents of the CURRENT STATE with the contents of the selected snapshot. Before doing so, Nuvolos automatically creates a backup snapshot of the CURRENT STATE. To reverse the restoration, restore that backup snapshot.

For example, assume that your instance contains a snapshot named "Snapshot1". If you restore Snapshot1 by mistake, the following two actions occur:

  1. Nuvolos creates a backup snapshot of the CURRENT STATE containing its existing content, for example "Snapshot1_backup".

  2. Nuvolos overwrites the contents of the CURRENT STATE with the contents of "Snapshot1".

If you accidentally restored "Snapshot1" and want to reverse that action, restore "Snapshot1_backup". This will overwrite the CURRENT STATE again, restoring the content that was present before the first snapshot restoration.
