Checkbox for Excluding Disks from Snapshots

[AmosBurton]

Hi,
are there any plans to introduce a checkbox like the one for backups that excludes disks from snapshots?
Or is detaching the disk still the current solution to this problem?

For live VMs/LXCs, that's not possible, but it should definitely be an option for offline CTs/VMs. I have a separate volume for each docker image that I'm running within a single LXC and currently have to manually take a zfs snapshot of the specific docker image's virtual disk volume prior to trying a new change, etc. But I don't want to have to roll back my entire comprehensive microservices stack 2hrs just because I was messing with a single docker image and ultimately couldn't get it to work then.

The offline snapshot UI should add the element where all connected devices are pre-selected. The user can deslect specific volumes, or depress a single master hierarchical checkbox to deselect all volumes, and then manually check one or more volumes they wish to snapshot. The feature would naturally not be available if the LXC (or VM) is not in the stopped state.

@AmosBurton - Is it possible for you to modify this thread title so it's more clear:

[Feature Request] Ability to deselect specific virtual disks for Offline Snapshots

It would be a big plus that I think a lot of people would use if they had access to it <3
