VMware ESXi Snapshot Import and Return Guide process consists of stepping steps to choose the right goal and change on actual service. This app guide offers a traceable app sequence in VMware management.

Menu names may vary according to the version used. Therefore, write the target on the screen, the service to be affected and the expected value after processing. Note that Snapshot' is not permanent backup, the datastore capacity should meet the snapshot growth.

## Before the process starts

- Compare the unique identity and name of the target record.
- Check supported versions of application dependency.
- Take into account the delay of cache and spread.
- Plan changing only one configuration group at one time.

## Step by step app

1. Specify the return target, scope and acceptable data loss time.
2. Check which are included from the file, database, email and configuration components.
3. Create a new and verified backup and confirm that the archive is accessible in remote location.
4. Compare date, size and ownership information to not mix the target account with the restore point.
5. Start the process at low-traffic time and cut the session or task until it is completed.
6. Then test the site, database, entries, email and scheduled tasks separately.
7. Check ESXi host, virtual machine and datastore health status before processing.

## Verification and troubleshooting

Test the admin view separately with the user view. The access to the management panel does not show the web, mail, database or automation service correctly.

- Is the final user successful?
- Is the administrator record right?
- Does the attached services respond to?

## Safety and continuity notes

To solve an error, it produces new risk to allow all files wide or open all ports. Use a narrow comprehensive exception and return to the old safe state when the test is completed.

Return to the final successful situation instead of adding new settings in the unforeseen situation. Check the records at the trading time and repeat the same test with one variable.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Is it true to change multiple settings simultaneously?

No. The only variable keeps the cause and return step of the problem. After the result is verified, proceed to the next setting.
