Coming from Hyper-V and VMWare background (limited), I would like to know if the concept of VM snapshot exists in SoftLayer. What is the direct equivalent or the closest approach to point-in-time restores if their VMs?
I did try to research, but all references I am finding point to disk space management concepts. While main moving part in Hyper-V and VM the restore is "Freezing" the vHD states and starting to write into "incremental" files, the snapshotting concept there is impelemented at VM level, not strictly at disk management. So in that sense - is there anything I missed in SoftLayer?
EDIT
This is the closest concept that I found (at storage level)
We are using their Citrix XenServer offering.
