Snapshot

Snapshots protect Node data by capturing the contents of a Node at a specific point in time. Snapshots greatly simplify and increase the performance of backup and recovery operations.
As of now, E2E Networks provides the Snapshot feature only for C3/M3/SDC3 type VMs.

How to Create Snapshot

Click on Nodes from the side navigation bar.

Click on the Add New Node button.

Once the Node is in running status, to make the Node’s data backup, you can create a snapshot. To create a snapshot, click on the Action button and select Create Snapshot.
