The Snapshots Page

Use the Snapshots page to manage virtual machine (VM) snapshots, which represent an image of a VM at a particular point in time. You can use a snapshot to restore a VM on the everRun system or you can export a snapshot for use in a new VM. To open this page, click Snapshots in the left-hand navigation panel of the everRun Availability Console.

To create a snapshot (on the Virtual Machines page), see Creating a Snapshot.

The everRun system's ability to take snapshots is enabled, by default. To disable or to re-enable the system's ability to take snapshots, see Disabling and Enabling Snapshots.

To manage an existing snapshot, click the name of a snapshot in the top pane of the Snapshots page. The bottom pane displays a description of the snapshot.

You can use the Snapshots page for administrative tasks including:

• Exporting a Snapshot
• Creating a Virtual Machine from a Snapshot
• Removing a Snapshot
• Adding a description for each volume, in the Description text box
