E2E CloudTIR Snapshots
A snapshot is a fast copy of a TIR Virtual Machine’s disk, taken at one moment. Take one before a risky change, or on a schedule, and you can put the VM’s disk back to that moment, or launch a new VM that starts with it.
Where to find it
Section titled “Where to find it”In TIR, open your project. In the side menu, under Storage, select Snapshots to see every snapshot in the project. To see the snapshots of one VM, open that VM and select its Snapshots tab.
What you can do
Section titled “What you can do”Take snapshots
Section titled “Take snapshots”- Create a VM snapshot of a running or stopped VM, and rename it later.

Use a snapshot
Section titled “Use a snapshot”- Restore a VM from a snapshot to put its disk back as it was.
