SnapshotsĪre pictures of your system at a specific point in time they are not the same as backups. You can use a virtual machine snapshot to quickly recover a virtual machine (VM) after a system-altering procedure. Restoring a data center from old backups or snapshots might cause unexpected behavior. We recommend that you delete backups after a system-altering procedure is complete, you have tested the system, and you are No oneĬan sign in to the Webex site, schedule meetings, join meetings, or play meeting recordings.įollow the instructions in your VMware vSphere documentation to create a backup of the system and each of your virtual machines.
