Everyone who was at Snyergy last week wanted the link to how to do snapshots in XenServer. Here is the link to Shannon's PowerShell snap-in:

http://shannon.neutex.net/2008/11/06/hot-off-the-compiler-powershell-snapin-for-xenserver-snapshots/

I will also post a 'how-to' guide on how to convert this to an activity library.

      The upcoming XenServer 5.5 release will include a snapshot interface right in the XenCenter console as mentioned here:

      Workflow Studio allows you to leverage product APIs to automate available functionality across multiple products. Even with snapshots in the console, Workflow Studio provides a mechanism to automate when to take (and revert) snapshots and can allow you to base this on other criteria within the data center.
