Is it possible to run snapshot as auto (cron job)? -----Original Message----- From: Makrand [mailto:makrandsa...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2016 2:02 PM To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: Re: How to: Snapshot
Snapshots capabilities are native to your hypervisor. ACS just uses API of hypervisors to instruct it to perform snapshot. The most popular snapshot is disk snapshot, where disk is cloned and cloned disk copy moved to secondary storage via SSVM. This copy then can be used to produce new volume or template. -- Makrand On Tue, Sep 20, 2016 at 11:25 AM, Sergey Levitskiy < sergey.levits...@autodesk.com> wrote: > There is an article about this > http://cloud-mate.org/2015/06/enable-snapshot-kvm-cloudstack/ > > It seems VM snapshots are not supported in KVM.
