Description

The Restore-VMSnapshot cmdlet restores a virtual machine checkpoint.

Note: In Windows Server 2012 R2, virtual machine snapshots were renamed to virtual machine checkpoints. For clarity, this document will refer to virtual machine snapshots as checkpoints.

Examples

Example 1

PS C:\> Restore-VMSnapshot -Name 'Base image' -VMName TestVM
Confirm
Are you sure you want to perform this action?
Restore-VMSnapshot will restore checkpoint "Base image".
[Y] Yes  [A] Yes to All  [N] No  [L] No to All  [S] Suspend  [?] Help
(default is "Y"): Y

Restores checkpoint Base image of virtual machine TestVM.

Example 2

PS C:\> Get-VM | Foreach-Object { $_ | Get-VMSnapshot | Sort CreationTime | Select -Last 1 | Restore-VMSnapshot -Confirm:$false }

Applies the most recent checkpoint on all virtual machines with no confirmation prompts.

Parameters

-AsJob

Runs the cmdlet as a background job.

Type:SwitchParameter

Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-ComputerName

Specifies one or more Hyper-V hosts on which the virtual machine checkpoint is to be restored. NetBIOS names, IP addresses, and fully qualified domain names are allowable. The default is the local computer. Use localhost or a dot (.) to specify the local computer explicitly.

Type:String[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
