2. After the virtual machine is registered, the next step is to add them as protected items, at the bottom of the menu, click "Protect" to follow the prompts to select the virtual machine you want to protect

4. Click Next, in this page you need to choose a policy to configure virtual machine configuration, that is, when you need to perform a backup of the virtual machine, it is generally recommended that the daily business trough, such as 11 o'clock in the evening to perform the backup operation:

10. One of the important purposes of taking a snapshot of a virtual machine is to take a snapshot of the virtual machine and restore it to its previous state once the virtual machine has been mistakenly manipulated, so we can do a little test on the Linux virtual machine root and the Windows desktop, Create a snapshot.txt (in the actual application environment, your data file should be saved in the data disk, D disk and SDB are temporary disks, omitted in this test):

2. Then we simulate a misoperation, delete the previously created "Snapshot.txt", check the directory to confirm the deletion, exit:

8. On the restore of the instance, in the current option, you can restore the backup to a new virtual machine, specify the name of the virtual machine, the name of the cloud service, and if you need to restore the virtual machine and the cloud service to the same name, then you need to delete the previous virtual machine and the cloud service and then restore it:

10. After the recovery is complete, we can see that in the cloud service linuxcent71 a more instance linuxrestore, using the same username password to log on to the restored instance, and the current instance linucecent71, you can see, In the instance of recovery, Snapshot.txt is still in, that is, fully recovered, and the current instance operation has no such file at the time:
