Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) allows VMs and data from a particular time in the past (last "known good" point) to be recovered, tested, and then restored.

Protected domains can be constructed with PITR capability allowing their VMs and data to be restored to a previous point in time within a window of protection specified by the user. The steps and screens of the PITR feature are complementary to those for DR protection and recovery but with some notable differences documented in this section.

Note: PITR supports rollback of data in vDisks. It does not roll back VM configuration changes that happen across the PITR window. Any VM configuration changes lost from rolling back to a prior point in time should be reapplied by the administrator after the PITR session has been completed. For example: VM configuration changes such as disk add, remove, detach and disk grow, etc.
