Hey folks,
I've setup OmniOs/Nappit on ESXi. Everything is going well so far. One feature that I would like to take advantage of on some of my mounts are snapshots. Specifically I'd like to automate how to setup snapshots so that my windows previous versions are along the lines of say monthly snaps with a 6 month retention, weekly with two month retention, daily with two week, hourly with 1 week, and every 5 minutes for two days.
Also, what are best practices for applying snapshots? For example, I plan to apply this to user data. Would there be any point in applying this to mount used for VM's?
I appreciate any feedback.
