    ❗ Important

    • To use Rollback Actions, you need the Security Essentials license. Contact Support to obtain the license. Currently, this feature is available only for Druva Public Cloud customers.

    • Refer to Required permissions for information regarding Rollback permissions.

    Rollback Considerations:

  • The rollback activity will be captured in the Admin Audit trail for auditing purposes.

  • Even if the replace_samehost flag is set to True and the device with the same name exists for a user, the device is rolled back by appending a number to the device name (for example, devicename1).

  • You cannot rollback a device if:

    • The user with which the device is associated is deleted. To rollback the device, you need to rollback the user first.

    • The user's profile with which the device is associated is changed. To roll back this device, you need to change the user's profile to the previous one.

    • The active license limit of the user with which the device is associated has reached the threshold. Contact Support to procure additional licenses.

    • The total count of devices exceeds the device count allowed per profile. You need to delete the device or edit the profile to increase the total device count and then roll back this device.

Sort

On the Devices page, use the down or up arrow next to Name, Device OS, User, Device Status, last backup status,and client version columns to sort them in ascending or descending order.
