Snapshot Feature for Rapid Rollback

, I would like to propose an additional feature to further improve system recovery and minimize service disruptions caused by human errors.

To facilitate quick rollback and resolution, we request the implementation of automatic system snapshots taken at:

  • The last 1 hour

  • The last 24 hours

  • The last 48 hours

This feature would allow admins to quickly restore previous configurations when unintended changes occur, preventing extended outages. The ability to revert to a recent snapshot could have significantly reduced the downtime experienced by the school.
