Abiquo 6.0 introduces a VMware Snapshot feature for VMs. This new feature offers the VMware snapshot directly to the VM user, with easy-to-use buttons on the VM control panel. This feature enables users to easily create a single snapshot before they make changes to their VM, and revert, or delete the snapshot afterwards. This feature greatly simplifies the use of VM snapshots and will save time for your System administrators. This feature replaces the VM snapshot functionality that was part of the Abiquo Backup feature. |
