I\u2019ve previously blogged about the Confusion Over Hyper-V and \u201cSnapshots\u201d<\/a>.  Well, Microsoft listened to the feedback.  A snapshot is now called \u2026 a checkpoint.  The benefits of this name change:<\/p>\n

  1. It matches VMM<\/li>\n
  2. This should end the confusion with VSS snapshots and SAN snapshots \u2026 and hopefully stop people from thinking that a Checkpoint is for backup \u2026. IT IS NOT A BACKUP MECHANISM!  (Yes, there are people who think this).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There is a PowerShell cmdlet called Checkpoint-VM to create a checkpoint \u2026 the thinking in the Hyper-V team in WS2012 was that you checkpointed a VM.  I can\u2019t say I agreed with that thought process \"Smile\"  There are other PowerShell cmdlets too:<\/p>\n

    They still use the term \u201csnapshot\u201d.  I don\u2019t know if that will be changed or aliases will be used (for script backwards compatibility).  I hope something is done to keep things consistent but I doubt there\u2019s much time left for anything to be done in the R2 release.<\/p>\n
