Backing up the FortiVoice VM

Backing up the FortiVoice VM

In VM environments, it is recommended that you use the Microsoft Hyper-V Manager Snapshot utility to back up the VM instance (depending on the Hyper-V version you use, the utility might be called Checkpoint). In the event of an issue with a firmware upgrade or configuration issue, you can use Snapshots to revert the VM instance to a previous Snapshot.

To back up a virtual machine instance:

  1. In the Hyper-V Manager, right-click the name of the virtual machine you created and select Snapshot from the menu.
  2. The virtual machine snapshot displays in the Snapshot pane.

  3. Right-click the snapshot entry.
  4. Click Apply from the menu.
  5. Click Apply in the confirmation dialog box.
