Rolling back a snapshot
Use the rollback option in the SLE Btrfs Snapshot Management dashboard to restore endpoints to a previous system state. The rollback feature allows you to reset system files of an endpoint that were not configured correctly by rolling back to a different snapshot.
Before you begin
- Use BigFix server and console version 9.0 or later.
- Use BigFix client version 9.2.1 or later.
- Use SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop and Server 11 SP2 or later.
- Subscribe to the Patching Support site.
- Exclude /var/opt/BESClient/* directories from the snapshots. To exclude data directories when taking snapshots, run the Exclude Client Directories From Snapshots task. This task creates the necessary directories and files to exclude the /var/opt/BESClient/* directories when taking snapshots.
About this task
- Configuration changes in the directory on the bootloader cannot be rolled back.
- Kernel installations require manual deletion of the boot entry for a Kernel. Hence, complete rollback is not possible for Kernel installations.
- Excluded mount points and ext3 file systems cannot be rolled back.
