  1. Select the snapshot from which you want to restore your device to the cloud, then select which disks you want to restore (by default, all).

  2. The system will automatically perform the restore, and a status bar will display the percentage of completion.

  3. Once completed, the Virtual Machine will be rebooted and start booting the restored operating system. By entering into the VM details (Main Data section on the left) and clicking Open Remote Console you’ll see the restored device GUI. Log in and verify that the network card is configured correctly (if the original static ip is not present you can set it).

From this moment the device will be reachable from your local network as if it were physically at its own location.
