Topic : Snapshots KVM function.

Posted By: 4allbusiness on January 22, 2019, 11:18 am

Hello Virtualizor,

Is it possible to add snapshot feature with KVM? Not only Full Backups.
Now we create full backups to a FTP server, which takes a very long time for large VPS storages.

A Snapshot feature is really missing here, for fast and safe changes to a vps.

For snapshot functionality you need to use qcow2 disk type as this is the only supported type. As far as I know Virtualizor does not support it out of the box but you can still use virsh to create a snapshot:

Code
virsh snapshot-create-as --domain <vmname> --name <snapshot name>
