Typically I don't touch templates once I do their initial setup, just shut them down and take a backup (can be done using ansible through the PVE CLI) The backup restore and the VM startup is done through ansible > PVE CLI. I also have a testing VM that has a "CLEAN" snapshot that I restore to multiple times a day, using ansible > PVE CLI. Once the VM snapshot is restored I turn it back on as well using the PVE CLI
