In this article, you will learn: How to create and restore checkpoints or snapshots.
Checkpoints (called Snapshots in Windows) were introduced with Hyper-V. Checkpoints are backups that make a copy of the virtual machine’s data and hardware configuration, which you can restore back to if anything goes wrong.
Hyonix offers 1 checkpoint per windows VPS, if you are looking for multiple checkpoints you can open a ticket using: Open Ticket.
Having multiple checkpoints at a time may affect the server’s performance. It is recommended to take a checkpoint for testing purposes and delete it after you’ve done testing on the server.
Please note, server checkpoints are not backups and checkpoints will be deleted if the server is reinstalled or wiped.
