Thanks. Yes, but here is the scenario we are working with, as we are a development environment:
1. We have a VM named "dragon" that is running.
2. Take a snapshot of "dragon", which records it's now current state.
3. "dragon" continues to be used, and it's state is changed as a developer uses it.
4. Now, we have an original state, and an altered state, that is merely a recording of what actually changed (the snapshot itself).
5. NOW, while keeping the original "dragon" 'HOT" and running, we would like to clone the snapshot to a new name.
6. End result: 2 vm's. One an original, second with original content + what has changed.
Likewise, perhaps we start with "dragon" and take 4 snapshots over time, and wish to clone each one, for three new vm's with different name. All of which is done WITHOUT effecting the "hot" still running original VM.
