Restore Point

Overview

This document covers how to create and use a restore point on a Swivel hardware or virtual appliance. A restore will set the appliance back to the time the backup was made. Restore Point allows a restore to factory defaults or when the restore point was created. For information on backup see Backup Appliance.
