Snapshots
Restore Snapshot
Revert the source VM (or volume) to the state captured in this snapshot.
For VM snapshots, the VM must be in passive state (powered off) before calling this endpoint.
After a successful restore, this snapshot’s status flips to active and the previously-active snapshot (if any) is cleared. An active snapshot cannot be deleted — restore the source to a different snapshot first, or take a fresh one.
