Hi Pawel,

the 'saveas' snapshot saves the disk as a new disk - you will find it then in 
the same datastore as the original disk. When you want to use such a disk, you 
must prepare a new template for it.

The second snapshot type on the other hand snapshosts the VM in its current 
state - both the disk and memory. You can then revert the VM to that snapshoted 
state. But all the snapshoted information are kept only localy (part of VM 
image) - stopping, migrating  or shuting down the VM also deletes these 
snaphosts.

Hello,

In sunstone one can make snapshots in two places:

choose snapshot type:
    *   hot
    *   deffered
 *   from within virtualmachine > snapshots > take snapshot, here you do not

I wonder what is the difference between snapshot being made in those two places 
(I know what is he difference between hot and deffered though).


Thanks

Pawel
