Warning

NOTE: When creating a snapshot that includes the VM's memory, storage usage can quickly add up. For example, if you have 1 VM with 1 GB of RAM and a 10 GB disk, and you create a snapshot that includes memory, your storage usage will be: 10 GB (disk) + 1 GB (VM swap) + up to 10 GB (disk snapshot) + 1 GB (memory snapshot) = 22 GB total.
