NAME¶
zfs-rollback —
    roll ZFS dataset back to snapshot
SYNOPSIS¶
zfs | 
    rollback [-Rfr]
      snapshot | 
  
DESCRIPTION¶
When a dataset is rolled back, all data that has changed since the
    snapshot is discarded, and the dataset reverts to the state at the time of
    the snapshot. By default, the command refuses to roll back to a snapshot
    other than the most recent one. In order to do so, all intermediate
    snapshots and bookmarks must be destroyed by specifying the
    -r option.
The -rR options do not recursively destroy
    the child snapshots of a recursive snapshot. Only direct snapshots of the
    specified filesystem are destroyed by either of these options. To completely
    roll back a recursive snapshot, you must roll back the individual child
    snapshots.
EXAMPLES¶
Example 1: Rolling Back a ZFS File System¶
The following command reverts the contents of pool/home/anne to the snapshot named yesterday, deleting all intermediate snapshots:
# zfs
  rollback -r
  pool/home/anne@yesterdaySEE ALSO¶
