Uh there’s no difference. If you freeze the system it can’t be used. This is to run on live systems so they remain running the whole time.

What no coffee break for servers !!!

They definitely get a break if you pour coffee on them.

Odds are you can create a new VM, and simply attach the disks to the VM (in the correct order) and be back up and running.

We are using this, by the way. Just deployed one this past week or so.

My situation wasn't a snapshop - it was a fast copy.. so I'm not really sure.

Best practice, which almost no one follows, is to use explicit paths in scripts rather than implicit. then you don't need that at all.

I guess that makes 100% sense since you have to start the script with an absolute path ha.

@scottalanmiller I think of Snapshots as a quick point-in-time view... if something breaks, I can restore that snapshot in mere seconds, and I'm good to go.

If I have to pull a full image from a backup, it could take minutes - hours to restore that backup...

Ah I think that I knew that. Although I don't feel like I've seen his alter ego much either.
