Snapshoot Image IDs
Posted: 17. Apr 2021, 12:02
Hi group,
when I delete a snapshoot with childs the image of the deleted snapshoot is merged into the child images and deleted.
So the images of the childs are changed but the imagenames/ids seem to stay the same, which has some logic representing the same state.
The only problem is I backup my virtual machines, .vbox file with git and the images as files.
So after merging I may have different Image-Files with same name.
The newest may be fine, but dates sometimes change copying around.
Usually the last one should be the biggest, but I'm not sure.
May be there are some more ideas about the topic...
