Virtual Machine Backups (clone) as an alternative to snapshots

Last Updated : Jun 08, 2026 |

Avaya Aura® documentation refers to snapshots at the application level for various procedures. Snapshots apply to a VMware environment.

With the introduction of the alternative hypervisor in Avaya Solutions Platform R6.0.x (KVM on RHEL 8.10), RHEL 8.10 does not support snapshots and Linux does not support issues relating to the use of snapshots.

Virtual machine backup is a similar feature to snapshots. Virtual machine backups use the cloning feature. Use virtual machine backups in place of snapshots for ASP R6.0.x (KVM on RHEL 8.10).

You should only keep backups for a maximum 48 hours in order to ensure sufficient storage is available. You may need to remove them earlier.
