October 27, 20214 yr Author I'm talking about the VM snapshot's! If not possible in real time, shutdown -> take snapshot -> boot the VM... Edited October 27, 20214 yr by UNRAID, Casa
December 6, 20214 yr Yes please, this would be awesome. It's one of the features I use most on VMWare Desktop. Knowing I can futz around all I want and just roll back if things get wonky is great.
December 6, 20214 yr Have a look at this thread looking to add VM snaps at somepoint to my snapshoots plugin.
February 17, 20224 yr I as well would like to have a way to manage snapshots natively in Unraid. Just as an FYI, for those who don't know, you can use virsh from the cli, or install virt-manager on another computer to manage vms and/or snapshots. Not as simple but perfectly usable.
March 29, 20224 yr The problem I have found with virt-manager is: Unraids default virtual drive format makes it incompatible with taking snapshots. So any vm's that I just used the defaults on when I created them. I can't take snapshots. I agree, a native way to take snapshots from the web interface should have been a feature that was added long ago. I have been an Unraid customer for at least 8 years now and I love the OS, however, it hasn't seen much in terms of further development in that time. It's server software, so I get it, slow dev cycle. I just feel like it's been extraordinarily slow.
August 7, 20223 yr For me, this is the one feature that's missing to make Unraid my ultimate homelab server. Snapshots is essential when debugging and testing different setups, and i would love to see this integrated in the webui!
August 8, 20223 yr 1+ A native way (a plugin or built in) to take snapshots of virtual machines would be awesome!

September 30, 20223 yr Yeah, just started using VMs in Unraid again after a long hiatus and I'm honestly shocked to see that it's not included. Previously it was all command line, so it was pretty much do it yourself or it didn't happen, but with the modern GUI comes modern expectations and snapshots are pretty much a necessity for any VM host.
