In the Restore requests section, the results are not valid for snapshots. When you select the most recent a snapshot, the Restore requests section displays the details of this snapshot.

When you restore a snapshot, the VMware API powers off the VM to let you know that you need to restart the VM.

VMware provides information that a VM is running off a snapshot and which snapshot it is using. In future versions, Abiquo may make UI changes for snapshot backups.

The backup Events tab displays the snapshot actions. The VM Events tab and the main Events tab also display details of the backups.

After you restore a snapshot, the Backup restore event will display the name of the snapshot that you restored. So the most recent backup restore event will display the details of the snapshot that the VM is running off. 

Configuration

To configure the Veeam Snapshot feature, as part of the upgrade to Abiquo version 5.1, set the appropriate Abiquo configuration properties. Then create a new backup manager and select Veeam+Snapshot.  Edit the backup policy properties and select the option to Enable backup now.
