online manual: "Finally, if you took a snapshot while the machine was running, the memory state of the machine is also saved in the snapshot (the same way the memory can be saved when you close the VM window). When you restore such a snapshot, execution resumes at exactly the point when the snapshot was taken." https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#idp7737088 still to explore what have to be backed to allow restoring clone https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#clone is not allowed on a running machine I beg export can neither be done on a running machine https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#clone a fast and reliable way could be to * stop the machine * make it immutable * restart it * backup the immutable part We all know how difficult it is to backup a running machine - well the backup is easy, restoring is not :-( but any operation involving the copy of tha vrtual hard drive can take very long (servers can be many Gb large), and even more if the backup is not on the local machine, so it's not practical to stop the server completely for backup. But the described system (immutable) seems pretty fast, as the copy come later. teleporting https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch07.html#teleporting may be the final solution, but I yet have to read this twice :-) jdd ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Mar 27 - Feb 2 Save $400 by Jan. 27 Register now! http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev2 _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community
