Hello,
I've been using Proxmox for several years and always made a rule to never tollback to a snapshot on a container that is running because it caused me and some colleagues big issues in the past. Now I was wondering as it is an issue that can often appears, is there a way to block the possibility to rollack to a snapshot on a container that is running ? So as administrators, we have to shut it down to rollback to the last snapshot. I can't find information about this online or on the documentation, my proxmox servers are installed with ZFS, (Proxmox VE 8.3.5) so we only rollback to the latest snapshot.
Types of troubles we've encontered when doing a rollback on a running container by mistake :

Types of troubles we've encontered when doing a rollback on a running container by mistake :
- Infinite rollback that never ends, had to force stop the rollback, containers is shutdown during the rollback, then cannot start anymore
- Applications installed on the container doesn't work anymore after live rollback, had to restore a backup of the container
