delta backups with offline snapshot: VMs do not start after snapshot, they start after transfer is done.
-
Hi,
I just did delta backups with offline snapshot. There are 6 VMs in this job (smart mode).
It shuts down the VM(s) as expected and takes the snapshot. Then it exports to the remote and then it starts up the respective VM again. Is this a bug? Why does it not start the VM immediately after taking the snapshot? Or can this be caused by a setting?Strange... I habe another job, again offline snapshot. There is only von VM in this job. Here it starts the VM immediately after taking the snapshot....

Hi,
In theory, it should start just after the snap, not waiting to boot. Let me ping @Bastien-Nollet or @florent

Hi @k11maris,
I reproduced the same behaviour, but I think this is perfectly normal.
If you want to only do an offline snapshot and restart the VM while the export is happening, you should uncheck the 'Offline backups' option and set 'Snapshot mode' to 'Offline'.
