A system administrator deployed a patch to a critical virtual server. Shortly after the deployment, the server began experiencing intermittent crashes. The administrator needs to revert the server to its state immediately before the patch was applied to minimize downtime. Which of the following is the FASTEST method to achieve this?
Reverting to a snapshot is the fastest way to restore a virtual machine to its state at a specific point in time, such as right before a patch or update. Snapshots capture the entire state of the VM, allowing for a near-instantaneous rollback. While restoring from a full or incremental backup would also work, these processes are significantly slower and more resource-intensive, making them less ideal for this scenario.
