Re: Snapshot download
Hi Nux, hmm, I would have sworn I’ve seen people sent them before including memory but maybe I was mistaken. -- Jimmy Van: Nux Datum: donderdag, 1 februari 2024 om 11:29 Aan: users@cloudstack.apache.org CC: Jithin Raju Onderwerp: Re: Snapshot download KVM VM snapshots are stored inside the qcow2 file of the VM, AFAIK.

KVM VM snapshots are stored inside the qcow2 file of the VM, AFAIK. You can't separate it from the VM itself. You'll have to give the authorities this file unadultered.

Re: Snapshot download
Hi, I will do some digging, for the purpose I meant a vm snapshot with memory is not only needed but a requirement. But as I mentioned and as Daan said, I will do some digging as they need to be saved somewhere. When I find something I’ll create a feature request. -- Jimmy Van: Wei ZHOU Datum: donderdag, 1 februari 2024 om 10:26 Aan: users@cloudstack.apache.org Onderwerp: Re: Snapshot download Hi, If you use KVM, you can create a volume snapshot from the vm snapshot, then download the volume snapshot.

Re: Snapshot download
indeed Jimmy, As Jithin says there is no API for this (afaik) so some spitting and digging is needed. The snapshot must be there on some storage though, as it can be restored. let us know if you find a good work around and have an issue created.
