VM backups

Organize protection for your virtual machine volumes with manual and scheduled snapshots.

Disk snapshots

Start from the VM: open its details, go to Volumes and select the required disk. From there, take a snapshot or configure a recurring schedule.

Option	When to use it
Take Snapshot	Create a manual snapshot, for example before changing a disk.
Recurring Snapshots	Schedule hourly, daily, weekly or monthly snapshots and set the retention count.
View Volume Snapshots	Review volume snapshots and check operation results.

Plan VM protection

Identify which disks hold the operating system and application data. Configure a schedule for each required volume and choose a time, time zone and retention appropriate to your operation.

This guide uses volume actions. The VM's Instance Snapshots option is a separate feature and is not part of this procedure.

Restore

Explore the restore methods:

• Revert to Snapshot: apply the snapshot to the current volume.
• Create a new disk: create a volume from the snapshot and use it as the VM ROOT disk.
• Separate VM from a template: safest method for preserving the original VM and validating recovery in another instance.
