Not sure what storage system you are using, but with NetApp as the backend, you can
- Stop the VM from within Cloudstack - Login to a host, locate the volume(s) you want to restore and rename them (XXX.bak) - perform a "volume snapshot restore-file" with the appropriate parameters to restore individual files from the snapshot of your choice. Make sure you use "restore-file" and not "restore" :) - Power the VM on from within Cloudstack ---- Steve Fuller steveful...@gmail.com On Fri, Feb 7, 2025 at 7:40 AM pankajfromcomhard (via GitHub) < g...@apache.org> wrote: > > GitHub user pankajfromcomhard created a discussion: Best Way to Restore a > Specific VM from Hourly Snapshots in Apache CloudStack 4.19.1.2 > > We are using SAN storage as the primary NFS storage in our Apache > CloudStack 4.19.1.2 environment.
