Purpose: Proofread errors and create backups for customers
## Return the device to factory defaults

- *Virtual machines with 4-digit version (Ex: 2003, 2004) are the original data files of the software, while virtual machines with shortened version of 3 numbers (Ex: 2003-> 203) are the current running version, When you want to return to the default, you just need to delete the currently running version and clone the 3-number version into the corresponding 4-number version*
- When the customer wants to return the device to its original state
Ex: Return Dashboard to default
- Step 1: Select **204 (DashBoard)** -> Select **Stop**

- Step 1: Click on the device **2004 (DashBoard)**

![[Proxmox_14.png]]

- Step 2: Right click -> **Clone**

![[Proxmox_19.png]]

Then Enter ID (Must not be the same as an existing device)

![[Proxmox_21.png]]

- Step 3: Change IP address: Select machine **208 (DashBoard)** -> **Network** -> Select Network line-> **Edit**
Change IP address. For example change to 10.0.0.15

![[Proxmox_23.png]]

Then press **OK**
- Step 4: Select **Start** to launch the device and you can access **Dashboard** at http://10.0.0.15/board
