    public static interface SnapshotsService.AddResponse

    Creates a virtual machine snapshot. For example, to create a new snapshot for virtual machine `123` send a request like this: [source] ---- POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/123/snapshots ---- With a request body like this: [source,xml] ---- My snapshot ---- For including only a sub-set of disks in the snapshots, add `disk_attachments` element to the request body. Note that disks which are not specified in `disk_attachments` element will not be a part of the snapshot. If an empty `disk_attachments` element is passed, the snapshot will include only the virtual machine configuration. If no `disk_attachments` element is passed, then all the disks will be included in the snapshot. For each disk, `image_id` element can be specified for setting the new active image id. This is used in order to restore a chain of images from backup. I.e. when restoring a disk with snapshots, the relevant `image_id` should be specified for each snapshot (so the identifiers of the disk snapshots are identical to the backup). [source,xml] ---- My snapshot 456 ---- [IMPORTANT] ==== When a snapshot is created the default value for the <> attribute is `true`. That means that the content of the memory of the virtual machine will be included in the snapshot, and it also means that the virtual machine will be paused for a longer time. That can negatively affect applications that are very sensitive to timing (NTP servers, for example). In those cases make sure that you set the attribute to `false`: [source,xml] ---- My snapshot false ---- ====
