Problem/Justification
I would like to add a User Note
or Comments
field so I can add a note to a snapshot to tell me that this is a data safe snapshot or that a client requested this.
Impact
This will allow a user to better manage snapshots.
User Story
I run several virtual machines on TrueNAS and as you know to make sure the data is safe in a snapshot, you should make sure the VM is shutdown when doing a snapshot, however shutting down VMs is not always possible.
So if I make manually backup when the VM is shutdown I would like to add a note/comment
to the snapshot to say that it is a data safe backup because I did this when the machine was off. This can be useful if you need to restore the data safe snapshot because there was any issue with you VM but you can leave automatic snapshotting running.
You could also add a note such as, my client request a snapshot to be done because they were going to do a major software update, you can add into he comments field something along the line of Patrick from cyber securities requested this.
