Throw away every change since a snapshot (zfs rollback)

ZFS Assistant 0.7.0

NAME

zfsa-rollback - Throw away every change since a snapshot (zfs rollback)

SYNOPSIS

zfsa rollback [GLOBAL OPTIONS] [--destroy-newer] [-h|--help] <SNAPSHOT>

DESCRIPTION

Throw away every change since a snapshot (zfs rollback).

Rolling back to a snapshot that isn't the newest destroys the newer ones. That needs --destroy-newer and the dataset's name typed, or --yes --confirm DATASET without a terminal. Newer snapshots with holds or clones, and newer bookmarks, must be dealt with first. This can't be undone; zfsa restore dataset keeps the current data.

OPTIONS

--destroy-newer: Destroy the snapshots that are newer, which a rollback needs
-h, --help: Print help (see a summary with '-h')
<SNAPSHOT>: The snapshot to go back to

EXAMPLES

Go back to the newest snapshot:

zfsa rollback tank/photos@before-cleanup

Go back further, destroying the newer snapshots after typing the dataset's name:

zfsa rollback tank/photos@monday --destroy-newer
