Instant rollback from a VM backup image
NetBackup lets you roll back a VM instantly from a backup image. Only the backup images that support instant access can support instant rollback.
You can perform instant rollback for multiple VMs. You can also roll back a VM multiple times to any recovery point.
For example, if you have three backup images, B1, B2, and B3, you can first roll back the VM to B1, then to B3, then to B2, and so on.
After the rollback is completed, all data after the selected recovery point is no longer available.
