Retention of snapshots
This page provides information about the snapshot feature available on user interfaces.
Important!
Snapshots are not backups and are intended for a temporary preservation of the status of VMs.
A total of max. 10% of the total storage capacity of all virtual hard disks (vHDDs) per VM is allocated for snapshots.
- Snapshots should be stored for a maximum of 24 hours (recommendation) and may be stored for a maximum of 72 hours (customer obligation).
- A maximum of 3 (recommendation) and up to 8 (customer obligation) dependent snapshots (snapshot chain) should be stored.
The IT Center reserves the right to delete affected snapshots for operational and/or technical reasons without prior notice, should compliance with customer obligations not be ensured.
