I would love to have a functionality that is very useful OMHO when experimenting with VM, but also when you have to upgrade VM in production: create a temporary copy so you can restore it in case something goes wrong!
Of course can be done by command line (vzdump --dumpdir /tempvm), but would love to be able to do by web ui.
It would need
a) config option in dump.conf for the temporary stored vm copies, or somehow in the storage interface
b) button to create a copy (compressed by default?), restore the copy or delete it
So my workflow would be, i.e. to upgrade Zimbra: stop the container, press "copy button" (if a copy is already present, should be overwritten), restart the container, upgrade and if things go wrong, stop and press the "restore copy" button. Of if things seem to be ok, maybe after a week of test, press "delete copy" button.
Thanks and my compliments to the Proxmox team
