Backing Up a Virtual Machine
To back up a virtual machine, do the following:
Note: If you back up a virtual machine that has snapshots, the snapshots will not be included into the backup, and as a consequence, a virtual machine restored from this backup will have no snapshots either.
- Select a virtual machine in the sidebar and go to the Backup tab.
- Click the New button. The Back Up Virtual Machine window will be displayed.

- In this window, select the backup type:
- Full. If the virtual machine has no backups at all, you will be able to choose only this backup type.
- Incremental. This backup type is available only if the virtual machine has a full backup. An incremental backup contains only the files changed since the previous full or incremental backup.
You can also add a short description to the backup.
- Click OK.
Note: Backing up a virtual machine may take you some time. Do not work with the virtual machine until the procedure is over.
