00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:02.600
In this video, we show you how to create a

00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:05.279
snapshot of a disk for your VM and how to

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:08.200
revert to this snapshot. Log in with your

00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:12.480
VDC account at cust-sunstone.bit.nl.

00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:16.320
In the menu on the left, click on Instances and

00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:19.840
then on Virtual Machines.

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:22.920
Click on the VM

00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:26.960
and then go to the Storage tab.

00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:30.960
Next to the disk, you will see a snapshot

00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.160
icon.

00:00:33.160 --> 00:00:36.440
Click on this icon

00:00:36.440 --> 00:00:40.640
and enter a name for the snapshot.

00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:46.079
When you press Take Snapshot,

00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:48.280
the snapshot will be created.

00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:50.879
The state will briefly change to ‘SNAPSHOT’.

00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:53.559
Press Refresh to check

00:00:53.559 --> 00:00:56.120
whether it has returned to ‘RUNNING’.

00:00:56.120 --> 00:01:00.079
The snapshot has now been created.

00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:04.519
To revert to this snapshot,

00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.240
the VM must be powered off.

00:01:07.240 --> 00:01:11.159
Press Power Off to shut down the VM.

00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:13.320
Depending on your server, this

00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:16.600
may take a moment.

00:01:17.240 --> 00:01:19.520
Refresh regularly to check

00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:22.759
whether the state changes from ‘RUNNING’

00:01:22.759 --> 00:01:26.000
or ‘SHUTDOWN’ to ‘POWEROFF’.

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:28.840
Once the state is ‘POWEROFF’,

00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:32.960
we can revert the snapshot.

00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:36.159
The state will change again. In this

00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.840
case to ‘SNAPSHOT’. Refresh regularly

00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:40.880
to check whether it returns

00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:44.280
to ‘POWEROFF’. Once that has happened,

00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:47.119
a running icon will appear

00:01:47.119 --> 00:01:49.000
next to the snapshot

00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:50.640
and the snapshot will have been

00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:54.079
reverted. Now press the Power

00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:58.759
button again to start your VM.

00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:04.079
The disk will now come back online in the

00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.680
server with the state it had at the time

00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.560
the snapshot was created.

00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:11.039
This brings us to the end of this video.
