How to Rebuild Instances

When you rebuild an Instance, its entire disk is wiped and replaced with a backup or snapshot of your choice.

 This feature is ideal for situations when you suspect that the Instance may have been breached or hacked, when you no longer have access to the Instance, when you want to install a newer or older version of your operating system, or when you want to completely replace the contents of your Instance with new data.

Backup rebuilding

Snapshot rebuilding

The process of rebuilding a snapshot follows the same procedure as creating an Instance from a snapshot. You can perform this action in the Snapshot section or in the 2nd Instance creation step.
