Simon - thanks for the reminder re VM snapshots - I think you've actually told
me in the past as well.
Asai - a VM snapshot remains on primary storage and is there for the purpose of
rolling a VM back to a previous timestamp, and it is not available for
download.
Volume snapshots are copied to secondary storage for the purpose of downloading
by end user - but these are handled on a per volume basis.

Thank you for your responses,
What’s the difference, then, between a "VM" snapshot and a "VOLUME"
snapshot? I liked how in XenServer, you could export a whole VM by first
taking a snapshot. This was great for disaster recovery backup, is there a way
to do something similar in Cloudstack?

This setting change will probably require a management server restart.

running VM, I just get the message: "KVM VM does not allow to take a disk-only
snapshot when VM is in running state"
