Rollback (data management)

Okay kiddo, imagine you are playing a game with building blocks. You're building a big tower out of the blocks, but uh oh! You accidentally knock it over and all the blocks are scattered on the floor.

Now, let's say you had a magic wand that could make time go backwards and undo your mistake. That's kind of what a rollback is in data management.

When working with computers and data, sometimes mistakes happen and things get messed up. A rollback is like pressing a magic button that takes you back in time to a point before the mistake happened, so you can start over without losing any important information.

For example, let's say you're working on a big project for school and you accidentally delete an important file you need. A rollback would allow you to go back in time to before you deleted the file and undo the mistake, so you can still finish the project on time.

So, instead of being stuck with a big mess or having to start all over from scratch, a rollback gives you a second chance to fix things and keep going. Cool, huh?
