+==== Helpful notes from a user group ====
+I didn't realise snapshotting virtual machines on unRAID was so easy with SSH.
+After spending too much time over the weekend testing GUI options for KVM management with unRAID and being disappointed, I learnt that it's super easy using SSH if you have configured your VM correctly.
+Configuration
+Machine: Q35-6.2
+BIOS: SeaBIOS (OVMF cannot create snapshots when the VM is running.)
+Primary vDisk Type: qcow2
+Commands
+List Virtual Machines
+virsh list --all
+List Snapshots
+virsh snapshot-list <vm-name>
+Create Snapshot
+virsh snapshot-create <vm-name>
+Create Snapshot With Name
+virsh snapshot-create-as <vm-name> --name <snapshot-name>
+Shutdown Virtual Machine
+virsh shutdown <vm-name>
+Shutting down the virtual machine before snapshotting is recommended, but not required.
+Revert Snapshot
+virsh snapshot-revert <vm-name> <snapshot-name>
+Delete Snapshot
+virsh snapshot-delete <vm-name> <snapshot-name>
+You must delete all snapshots before removing the VM through unRAID as it throws an error and wont let you delete the VM.
+Snapshot Info
+virsh snapshot-info <vm-name> <snapshot-name>
