Summary

Through the System Snapshot section, you can manage the snapshots taken of device filters and settings. You can create these snapshots through the Device Configuration screen for a specific device. Creating a new snapshot places a copy on the device. Archiving a snapshot places a copy on the SMS. Deleting a snapshot removes the system snapshot from the device and, if present, the snapshot on the SMS.

Details

Procedure:

Log in to the SMS from a client.
On the SMS toolbar, navigate to the Devices->All Devices tab screen.
On the left navigational menu, select the device and expand the entry.
Expand the entry for Device Configuration.
Select the System Update entry. The Device Configuration - System Update screen displays.
In the System Snapshots table, select a snapshot to rollback to and click Restore. When you rollback, the snapshot overwrites all settings for a profile to the device with the snapshot settings.
The system may prompt with a warning or further steps.

Note: The snapshot procedure may take time, allow sufficient time for the procedure to complete.
