<p><span style="font-family:"Liberation Serif","serif"">Hello to oVirt Users,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Liberation Serif","serif"">I have few questions.<br>
<br>
<br>
a. Can we schedule the VM snapshots? If yes, please share the procedure<br>
b. Snapshots are stored on the same storage domain. Can we move them to another storage domain say NFS domain for additional safety? If, yes, please share the procedure.<br>
<br>
Also, after upgrading to version 4.0.5, at many places, especially when we are creating a new VM and trying to create a new Disk for the VM, we keep getting "uncought exception" and the process will not complete. We have to create a VM, without Disk and then
create the disk separately and attach it to VM.<br>
<br>
Is anyone else facing this issue? These sort of issues were not there in 4.0.4.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
