VMware Cloud Management and Automation Fundamentals — Question 56

Which action should an administrator use to restore a virtual machine to a previous state?

Answer options

• A. Take snapshot
• B. Revert to the latest snapshot
• C. Delete all snapshots
• D. Consolidate snapshot

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as reverting to the latest snapshot allows the administrator to restore the virtual machine to its previous state. Option A is incorrect because taking a snapshot does not restore the VM; it only captures the current state. Option C is not valid since deleting all snapshots will remove recovery options, and option D does not facilitate restoration but instead merges changes into the base disk.
