How to restore Snapshot using LXC?

A feature of the LXC called “LXC restore snapshot” enables us to use a snapshot to return a container to a prior state. With the help of LXC, we can run numerous isolated Linux systems on a single host while using a lightweight and effective method for building and maintaining Linux containers.

We must run the following steps to restore the snapshots using LXC:

1. Firstly, to view a list of the LXC container’s available snapshots, run the command below:

To see the available snapshots and their names, look for the “Snapshots:” section in the output.

2. Then, to ensure a clean restoration procedure, it is advised to stop the container before restoring a snapshot. To stop the container, issue the following command:

3. Now we can use the following command to restore a particular snapshot:

Change the words “container_name” and “snapshot_name” to the names of our container and the snapshot we wish to restore, respectively.

4. After restoring the snapshot, use the following command to restart the container:

5. We should confirm that the snapshot restoration was successful after starting the container. To see if the state corresponds to the restored snapshot, connect to the container. Use the next command to establish a connection with the container:

Once connected, we can verify that the state and configuration match the restored snapshot by checking them. We can now use the LXC container in its previous condition after restoring the snapshot.

Conclusion

Depending on the LXC setup and the tools we use to manage the containers, the particular commands and procedures may change.
