Snapshots of virtual servers¶

Information

A snapshot is a complete copy of the entire file system of a virtual server. Snapshot allows you to perform a full restoration of the server with maintaining RAM memory.

Attention

Performing a rollback operation to the specified snapshot will result in the irreversible deletion of all snapshots created after the selected restore point. It is recommended to ensure the correctness of your selection beforehand.

The Services section is intended to manage snapshots of virtual machines. It allows creating snapshots and perform the following actions with them:

Active snapshots - viewing the existing snapshots in the drop-down list;
Refresh - updating the list of snapshots;
Remove - deleting a snapshot;
Restore - restoring from snapshot;
Create snapshot - creating a snapshot.

To create a snapshot, click on the ~~Create snapshot~~, button, and then enter its name:

Example of creating a snapshot, cURL:

curl -s "https://invapi.hostkey.com/os.php" -X POST \
--data "action=create_snapshot" \
--data "token=" \

It is possible to delete an existing token or use it to restore a virtual server only if a machine is turned off (Info >> Power control >> Power off).

Example of powering off a server, cURL:

curl -s "https://invapi.hostkey.com/eq.php" -X POST \
--data "action=off" \
--data "token=$HOSTKEY_TOKEN" \
--data "id={Server ID}"
