Configuring a Virtual Machine 191
To enable the SmartGuard functionality, select the Enable SmartGuard option at the top of the
SmartGuard pane.
Note: The SmartGuard feature is available only when the Undo Disks feature (p. 192) is disabled
and the virtual machine is not running in Safe Mode (p. 126).
If you want to know when it is time to make the next snapshot and to be able to reject the
snapshot creation, enable the Notify me before snapshot creation option.
Setting the Time Interval
Set how often snapshots should be made in the Take a snapshot every field. You can set from
one hour to 48 hours.
If the time interval is less than 24 hours, SmartGuard will allow you to restore the latest hourly,
daily and weekly snapshot. If the time interval is more than 24 hours, you will be able to restore
the latest daily, weekly and monthly snapshot.
To manage the snapshots and restore any of them, use Snapshot Manager (p. 251).
Restricting the Snapshots Number
Use the Number of snapshots to keep field to set the maximum number of snapshots that can be
stored on your Mac. The maximum available value is 100 snapshots. As soon as Snapshots
Manager reaches the limit for snapshots and needs to make a new one over limit, it deletes the
oldest snapshot.
If you want to prevent Virtual Machine Configuration from further unauthorized changes, click
the Lock icon
at the bottom of the window. The next time someone wants to change the
settings on any pane of Virtual Machine Configuration, an administrator's password will be
required.
