Why, as in VMware, isn't possible to just Snapshot and copy the read-only disk ? Fernando On 27/07/2017 07:14, Abi Askushi wrote:
Hi All,
For VM backups I am using some python script to automate the snapshot -> clone -> export -> delete steps (although with some issues when trying to backups a Windows 10 VM)
I was wondering if there is there any plan to integrate VM backups in the GUI or what other recommended ways exist out there.
Thanx, Abi
