Working with Linux Restore Points

Instance Restore Points allow you to create point-in-time copies of an Instance that preserve all attached data volumes and, optionally, the CPU and memory state. These restore points can be used to quickly restore the Instance to the exact state it was in when the recovery point was created.

Navigate to Compute > Linux Instance, click the particular Linux Instance Name, and access the Restore Point tab.
