XO cant Snapshot itself ?
-
@olivierlambert I think that
[NOSNAP]
means that this VDI should not be snapshotted and that ignoring it during backup would be surprising.But your point is valid too, I have no ideal solution, hence my question ^^
-
I don't see a case where one would want
[NOSNAP]
but not[NOBAK]
. Maybe we could require either none or both of them during a backup and not support one without the other? -
The situation I can have in mind:
- you want your VM to be backup
- when you do a manual snapshot, you don't want to snap a disk
But why doing this? I don't know, it's hard to predict the need for this… At least, if we choose to NOT doing a backup of this disk with NOSNAP, we MUST tell that clearly in the doc.
