Per the documentation on the GCP site: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/windows/creating-windows-persistent-disk-snapshot
creating regular (non-VSS) snapshots of Windows Server persistent disks require the following steps:
To create a snapshot:
- Unmount the filesystem
- Create a snapshot
- Remount your disk
If one sets up a scheduled snapshot for a Windows Server persistent disk using the GE Disks interface-provided scheduler, are those snapshots at risk of being unreliable / corrupt as the assumption is the above 3 steps are not automated in any way?
Wanted to make use of the scheduler feature...but it doesn't seem like it was meant to be used for Windows Server persistent disks (And there are no Windows Server clarifying notes in the admin interface of the scheduler).
Any feedback would be appreciated!
