Snapshots don't work for me. in logs after a successful backup; 2019-12-23 12:51 information: commited changes from snapshot for /mnt/user/domains/Linux/vdisk1.img on Linux. 2019-12-23 12:52 information: forcibly removed snapshot /mnt/user/domains/Linux/vdisk1.snap for Linux.

If you rename it to .img it's been rolled back to the pre-backup state. Additionally the extensions to skip is case sensitive, I suspect this is not the intention as there is some setopts -u nocasematch in the code; I had install media attached to a windows vm; after the above backup it left the .ISO attached device as a .snap too. 2019-12-23 12:15 information: able to perform snapshot for disk /mnt/user/recovery/Operating System ISO/9200.16384.WIN8_RTM.120725-1247_X64FRE_SERVER_EVAL_EN-US-HRM_SSS_X64FREE_EN-US_DV5.ISO on WinPrint. use_snapshots is 1. vm_state is running. vdisk_type is raw 2019-12-23 12:15 information: qemu agent found. enabling quiesce on snapshot. 2019-12-23 12:15 failure: snapshot command failed on 9200.16384.WIN8_RTM.120725-1247_X64FRE_SERVER_EVAL_EN-US-HRM_SSS_X64FREE_EN-US_DV5.snap for WinPrint. 2019-12-23 12:15 failure: snapshot_fallback is 0. skipping backup for WinPrint to prevent data loss. no cleanup will be performed for this vm. running unraid 6.7.2
