I have a bunch ofwin7 VMs running on XCP host and I take regular snapshots of 
them for backup. While reverting to the snapshots I see that sometimes, the 
windows gets into auto recovery mode by default as if the there was not clean 
shutdown during revert to snapshot process.
Can someone help me with what is the best way to take a snapshot and revert to 
it?

This is what I do now.

1.       Shutdown the VM clean.

2.       Take Snapshot without quiesce

3.       Boot the VM back and allow it to boot into OS completely.
For reverting, I do.

1.       Revert the VM to the snapshot  when the VM is running.

2.       Start the VM
Sometime when I start the Vm it gets into auto recovery mode. Is there a better 
way of doing this? Should I shut down the VM and then revert to snapshot?

Regards,
Vijay R
