Snapshots — create, restore, and delete
A snapshot captures a VM's disk at a moment in time so you can roll back to it later — before a risky upgrade, say.
Take a snapshot:
1. On the VMs tab, tap "Snapshot" on the VM.
2. Give it a name (e.g. pre-upgrade).
3. Tap "Take snapshot."
The snapshot appears under the VM as "pending" while its host captures it, then "ready." Ready snapshots show their size.
Restore a snapshot:
Under the VM, find the snapshot and tap "Restore." The host reverts that VM's disk to the captured state. Use this to undo changes made since the snapshot was taken.
Delete a snapshot:
Tap "Delete" on a snapshot to remove it and free the space it holds.
Notes:
• Snapshots live with the VM on its host. They're for quick rollback, not a substitute for off-host backups.
• You can only restore a snapshot once it has reached the "ready" state.
• Taking a snapshot doesn't stop the VM.
