Abstract
If you’ve been in IT world for any length of time, you know that software upgrades are a part of life. Every month, you get a list of patches from Microsoft that must be applied to both the operating system (OS) and all of the Windows Server roles and features inside your environment. Eventually, something breaks as a result of applying a patch. If only there were a way to quickly roll back a failed patch. Or maybe you have a testing routine in place in your organization that would be made easier if you could simply click a go-back button. Well, we’re going to talk about one such technology throughout this chapter: Hyper-V Checkpoints.
