Excellent reply Wil, thank you.
If I do need to restore a backup and the guest is still running do I suspend the quest and do the restore or power it down completely?
If it was running when the backup was done, after the restore will it still be in running state, suspended or powered down state?
I apologize if these questions are answered somewhere in the documentation, if so can you point me to that document?
I have been in the software support (main frame systems) for a long time and restores are almost never needed on a planned basis and you better know what you are doing when the panic time comes. I am asking all this in advance because we have all learned the hard way expert support is usually not immediately available when disaster strikes.
