Abstract: An administrator may set restrictions related to the operation of a virtual machine (VM), and virtualization software enforces such restrictions. There may be restrictions related to the general use of the VM, such as who may use the VM, when the VM may be used, and on what physical computers the VM may be used. There may be similar restrictions related to a general ability to modify a VM, such as who may modify the VM. There may also be restrictions related to what modifications may be made to a VM, such as whether the VM may be modified to enable access to various devices or other resources. There may also be restrictions related to how the VM may be used and what may be done with the VM. Information related to the VM and any restrictions placed on the operation of the VM may be encrypted to inhibit a user from circumventing the restrictions.

Abstract: To create a backup of a live (running) virtual machine, a backup agent may take a snapshot of the virtual machine, backup the virtual machine from the snapshot disk, and delete the snapshot. Deleting the snapshot initiates a snapshot consolidation process where delta disks of the virtual machine are collapsed. A virtual disk layer sets up a mirror driver between a current virtual disk and a target virtual disk. Data sectors of the delta disk are copied over to the target virtual disk in a single pass, while the mirror driver mirrors write request for the current virtual disk to the target virtual disk.

Abstract translation: 要创建实时（正在运行的）虚拟机的备份，备份代理可以拍摄虚拟机的快照，从快照磁盘备份虚拟机，并删除快照。 删除快照将启动快照合并过程，其中虚拟机的增量磁盘已折叠。 虚拟磁盘层在当前虚拟磁盘和目标虚拟磁盘之间设置镜像驱动程序。 增量磁盘的数据扇区在一次通过中复制到目标虚拟磁盘，而镜像驱动程序将当前虚拟磁盘的写请求反映到目标虚拟磁盘。

Abstract translation: 管理员可以设置与虚拟机（VM）的操作有关的限制，虚拟化软件会强制执行这些限制。 可能存在与VM的一般使用有关的限制，例如可以使用VM的VM，可以使用VM以及可以在什么物理计算机上使用VM。 可能存在与修改VM的一般能力相关的类似限制，例如可能修改VM的人。 还可能存在与对VM进行什么修改有关的限制，例如VM是否可被修改以允许访问各种设备或其他资源。 还可能存在与VM的使用方式有关的限制，以及可能对VM做什么。 与VM相关的信息和对VM的操作的任何限制可以被加密，以阻止用户规避限制。
