Rollback Issues – Fix Time Desync in Proxmox, DBs and Fedora

Av Alicia Möller · april 7, 2026

Understanding and Fixing Rollback Issues Across Systems

Rollback operations across virtual machines, databases, and operating systems often lead to unexpected behaviors like time desynchronization and data loss. In Proxmox environments, restoring a VM snapshot reverts the guest system’s clock to the snapshot’s timestamp, disrupting services reliant on current time.

Jag gillar att göra svåra saker enkla. Jag skriver guider som är lätta att skumma men också håller för fördjupning. Jag försöker vara saklig och tydlig med antaganden. Om du vill bidra med idéer eller rättelser, hör av dig.
