Snapshots vs Backups

Understanding when to use snapshots versus backups:

Best Practices

• Before Updates: Create a snapshot before major system updates
• Testing: Use snapshots when testing configuration changes
• Combined Strategy: Use both snapshots (short-term) and backups (long-term)
• Clean Up: Delete old snapshots after successful updates
• Server State: Consider stopping the server before creating critical snapshots
