How to restore LVM snapshot

How to restore LVM snapshot

list of logical volumes (find your snapshot)
# sudo lvscan 

output:
  ACTIVE   Original '/dev/debian-group/main' [50.00 GiB] inherit
  ACTIVE   Snapshot '/dev/debian-group/backup01' [50.16 GiB] inherit

/dev/debian-group/backup01 is a snapshot of /dev/debian-group/main

merge lvm snapshot with source partition
# sudo lvconvert --main /dev/debian-group/backup01

if your source partition is in use,then changes will be applied on next reboot or next mount of source partition.
