Question

An administrator has virtualized a physical server. The application team reports satisfactory performance. The physical machine has been reimaged with a newer operating system. The following day, the application team remembers that the physical server had a dual purpose and uses a proprietary telephony card that connects to the PBX switch. The administrator needs to restore the server to its previous state. Which of the following should the administrator perform?

Why each option

After re-imaging a physical server, a critical proprietary hardware component is found to be missing, requiring the original physical server's state to be restored.

AP2P

P2P (Physical-to-Physical) migration involves moving a physical server's workload to a different physical server, which does not address restoring the original physical server to a previous state.

BRestore the snapshotCorrect

To restore a physical machine to its previous state after it has been reimaged, the administrator must utilize a backup or system snapshot taken before the reimaging occurred. This process reinstates the original operating system, applications, and configurations, including those necessary for the proprietary telephony card, effectively reverting the server to its prior functional condition.
