A snapshot is not a backup
A snapshot points at the same disks as the running virtual machine, so it disappears with the datastore.
Read guideQuestions
Are the guides written for one vendor?
No. Each hypervisor has its own article, and the practice articles apply across VMware, Hyper-V, and Proxmox.
Can I search in my language?
Yes. Search from the header only returns pages in the language you are reading.
How many guides are on each page?
The index lists six guides per page. A second page appears when more than six guides exist.
