Creating a snapshot
The snapshot makes PiT data available to the host for useful purposes. A snapshot initially only contains
the virtual disk’s data at the time the PiT was created. However, you may also grant full read/write
permissions to a host for the snapshot. Simply expose the snapshot to the host just like a virtual disk.
To create a snapshot for the PiT you just created:
1. Right-click on the PiT and select Manage > Create Snapshot. The Create Snapshot wizard appears.
2. Type a unique name for the snapshot, choose to set permissions to host with UDH, add an optional
comment, and click Next.
