Disabling and Enabling Snapshots

Snapshots provide an image of a VM at a particular moment in time. By default, the everRun system's ability to take snapshots is enabled. At times, you may want to disable the system's ability to create snapshots, for security reasons. Or, if disabled, you may want to re-enable the system's ability to create snapshots.

To disable the ability to take snapshots

1. Click Preferences in the left-hand navigation panel, to open the Preference page.
2. On the Preferences page, click Snapshot Configuration.
3. Activate the check box next to Disable Snapshot.
4. Click Save.

If snapshots are disabled and you want to take a snapshot, you need to enable snapshots.

To enable the ability to take snapshots

1. Click Preferences in the left-hand navigation panel, to open the Preference page.
2. On the Preferences page, click Snapshot Configuration.
3. Deactivate the check box next to Disable Snapshot.
4. Click Save.
