Working with RHEL Restore Points

Instance Restore points allow you to create point-in-time images of instances that preserve all their data volume as well as (optionally) their CPU/memory states. You can use Restore points to quickly restore Instances.

The Restore points section shows all RHEL Instance Restore points, which can be used to revert the RHEL Instances to an earlier state.

To view all the Restore points taken for the Instance, navigate to Compute > RHEL Instances, and access the Restore points tab.

RHEL Instance Snapshots

Restore points list down the following details:

  • Restore points name
  • Internal Name
  • Description
  • Type
  • Created On

Two quick options are available, one is to revert the Instance from the restore point, and the other is to delete the particular restore point.

To create a restore point, follow these steps:

  1. Click the Create Instance Restore Point button. The following screen appears:RHEL Instance Snapshots
  2. Enter the Name and the Description of the restore point.
  3. Click the Create button. The following screen appears: Restore Point
note

An Instance Restore Point can only be created when the instance is powered on.
