For more information, see [Back up disks](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/gdch/platform-application/pa-ao-operations/vm-backup/back-up-disks).\n- The necessary identity and access roles:\n\n - Project VirtualMachine Admin: manages VMs in the project namespace. Ask your Project IAM Admin to grant you the Project VirtualMachine Admin (`project-vm-admin`) role.\n - Backup Creator: creates manual backups and restores. Ask your Project IAM Admin to grant you the Backup Creator (`backup-creator`) role.\n - Project Viewer: has read-only access to all resources within project namespaces. Ask your Project IAM Admin to grant you the Project Viewer (`project-viewer`) role.\n\nRestore a snapshot\n------------------\n\nCreate a new VM from a disk snapshot by using the GDC console or the\napplication programming interface (API). \n\n### Console\n\n1. Sign in to the GDC console.\n2. In the navigation menu, click **Virtual Machines \\\u003e Snapshots**.\n3. Select a project.\n4. In the list of snapshots, find the snapshot to restore and click **Restore**.\n5. In the **New disk name** field, enter the name of the disk to restore the backup in.\n6.
