Snapshot Details

Information is collected for each snapshot virtual disk and displayed in a Snapshot Details page. (A summary for all snapshots created from a virtual disk can be viewed in the Virtual Disk Details page>Snapshot tab.)

The status of the snapshot is displayed under the snapshot icon at the top of the page, along with basic information such as size, type (differential or full snapshot), snapshot point (Point in time of when the snapshot was created or last updated), snapshot source (the virtual disk used to create the snapshot), and storage profile.

Snapshot name and description can be changed at the top of the page by clicking Edit. When changes are made, click Done.

Linear bar graphs display the percentage complete for:

Migration map displays the migration of data from the source virtual disk to the snapshot.
Delta map is a record of the differences between the source virtual disk and the snapshot.
