Resetting to the restore point

Notice

Loss of data

Data and restore points created after a certain restore point are deleted when resetting to a previous restore point.

If TwinCAT/BSD no longer works properly after a misconfiguration, you can easily undo these configuration errors with the help of restore points without reinstalling TwinCAT/BSD.

Proceed as follows:

1. Enter the command restorepoint status on the console to display all the restore points that can be used.

Administrator@CX-4FAA38$ restorepoint status
last BE: zroot/ROOT/default
factoryreset
2020-08-28T08:56:14Z
2020-08-28T09:03:05Z
your-restorepoint

2. Enter the command doas restorepoint rollback in the console to see all existing restore points.

3. Select a menu item to reset the system to a specific restore point.

Administrator@CX-4FAA38~ $ doas restorepoint rollback
Password:
    1 factoryreset
    2 2020-08-28T08:56:14Z
    3 2020-08-28T09:03:05Z
    4 your-restorepoint

4. All snapshots to which the system is reset are displayed.

5. Confirm the restoration with [y].

TwinCAT/BSD is reset to the restore point and restarted. Note that data and restore points created after the selected restore point are deleted during the reset.
