Rolling Back a Snapshot to an EVS Disk¶

Scenarios¶

If the data in an EVS disk is incorrect or damaged, you can roll back the data from a snapshot to the source EVS disk to restore the data.

Constraints¶

When you roll back a snapshot to a disk, you can only roll back the snapshot to the source disk. Rollback to a specified disk is not supported.
You can roll back a disk from a snapshot only when the disk is in the available or error_rollbacking state.
Snapshots whose names started with prefix autobk_snapshot_ are automatically created by the system during backup creations. Do not use these snapshots to roll back the disk data.

Involved APIs¶

Query the snapshot list, obtain the ID of the snapshot and the ID of the snapshot's source disk, and then roll back the snapshot to the source disk.

To meet the preceding requirements, call the following APIs:

Query EVS snapshots.
