The steps below allow you to restore the state of a virtual machine to a specific date without preserving the new data produced, starting from an old snapshot.

WARNING
This action will delete all snapshots created in the meantime and all copies that may be present on the DR; the result of this action will be the consolidation of both datastores into one.

Step 8. Select the cloned datastore 

Step 9.  Click on Revert
