qm-rollback: Rollback the state of a specific VM to a specified snapshot.
$ qm rollback ${vm_id} ${snap_name}
try on your machine

The command "qm rollback" is a command used in the QEMU/KVM virtualization environment to roll back a virtual machine (VM) to a previously created snapshot.

Here is a breakdown of the command syntax:

  • "qm" refers to the QEMU virtual machine manager command-line tool.
  • "rollback" is the specific operation/command to be performed.
  • "${vm_id}" represents the ID or name of the virtual machine you want to roll back. Replace this with the actual ID or name.
  • "${snap_name}" represents the name of the snapshot you want to roll back to. Replace this with the actual snapshot name.

Essentially, this command allows you to revert a virtual machine to the state captured in a specific snapshot, restoring the VM's disk, memory, and other settings to the point in time when the snapshot was created.
