I don’t understand the different of a snapshot vs clone.
I know the snapshot can easily be restored and can be saved as a running snapshot.
Do you export the snapshot or do you clone the vm to another drive.
I want a backup image of the vm but stored on another drive. I don’t want it to run on the other drive just a storage image backup.
So much reading online and it’s just sort of confusing me.
Cloning suggests I need to stop the vm and virt-clone.
snapshots don’t require a shutdown but how to copy the snapshot and is this actually a vm image ?
Please advise
Thanks
