Abstract
A computer system generates snapshot backups of a virtual machine by creating a metadata snapshot and a backup snapshot. The computer system identifies a backup request for a virtual machine operating on a host computing system, initiates a backup snapshot of storage devices in use by the virtual machine, generates a metadata snapshot of a configuration of the virtual machine, and maintains the metadata snapshot in a data store.
