When you create a snapshot in the Hyper-V service module, it is automatically named by combining the time stamp and the virtual machine name. For example, JSMITH - (10/15/2013 - 2:43:56 PM), where JSMITH is the virtual machine name. Snapshots are stored on the host machine, and can be accessed using the Hyper-V Manager.
- In Service Center, click Status > Service Modules.
- Click the Hyper-V link.
- In the Managed Sites table, click a site name.
- In the Managed Hosts table, click a host machine name.
- In the Guests table, click the name of the virtual machine on which you want to create the snapshot.
- In the Snapshot Management area, click Create Snapshot.
When the snapshot is being created, the following notification message appears at the top of the screen:
Command executed successfully: Command started.
