VM snapshot - some info needed

Hello Community, I have noticed that if I want a VM snapshot with memory - I get a warning "The VM will be paused while saving the memory" .Is there a way to make snapshot without pausing the VM for the whole duration ? I have noticed that it doesn't matter if VM has qemu-guest-agent or ovirt-guest-agent. Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts. Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov

Can someone tell me if this is an expected behaviour , or only my setup is defective ?Thanks in advance. Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov В сряда, 3 юли 2019 г., 13:09:09 ч.

No, this is expected. Denis was working on background snapshot which will remove this limitation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKj4j8lw8pU Nir
