# Restore the VMs <code>vm-001</code> from its saved state(this will also start the VM): <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">virsh restore /path/to/ram-disk/vm-001.state</syntaxhighlight>#* '''Please note:''' After this operation the VM <code>vm-001</code> is running again (continues where we stopped it), and we have a consistent backup for the VM <code>vm-001</code>:
#** The file <code>/path/to/ram-disk/vm-001.state</code> contains the CPU and memory state of VM <code>vm-001</code> at time T<sub>1</sub>
#** The file <code>/path/to/retain/vm-001.qcow2</code> contains the disk state of VM <code>vm-001</code> at time T<sub>1</sub>
