Use VPS snapshots, reinstall and ISO recovery
Understand the available snapshot, restore, reinstall and ISO actions before making a recovery change.
Where to goVPS Control Panel → Snapshots / Recovery
Before you startRestoring a snapshot or reinstalling can replace server data. Confirm the intended server, recovery point and effect before proceeding.
Follow these steps
- Open Snapshots to view the snapshots available for the selected server and inspect Snapshot details.
- Use Create snapshot when you want to create an available recovery point and the provider permits it. Wait for completion and verify its status.
- To restore, select the intended snapshot, choose Restore snapshot and review the consequences and confirmation phrase before confirming.
- Use Delete snapshot only for a recovery point you intentionally want to remove. Check the exact snapshot before confirming.
- For a reinstall, open the available Reinstall action, select the required operating-system image and read the data-replacement warning before confirming.
- In Recovery, use Attach ISO or Detach ISO when supported. Select the image or complete the fields displayed for the operation.
- Check Activity and the final server state after each operation. Confirm that services and data match the intended recovery outcome.
