Versions:
cv4pve-autosnap 2.0.0, released by Corsinvest Srl as the sixth major iteration of the utility, belongs to the virtualization management category and serves Proxmox VE administrators who need reliable, policy-driven protection for virtual machines and containers. The open-source command-line tool automatically generates snapshots at user-defined intervals, applies configurable retention rules, and then purges obsolete images so storage consumption remains predictable. Selection logic is flexible: operators can target specific VMs or containers by exact ID, by name, by shell-style patterns, or by Proxmox pool membership, while bulk switches let a single invocation cover an entire cluster. To integrate with larger workflows the program offers pre- and post-snapshot hooks, enabling quiescing of databases, notification scripts, or backup catalog updates. Multiple user-defined labels can be attached to snapshots, allowing distinct schedules—such as hourly, daily, or weekly—to coexist on the same guest without confusion. A built-in clean command removes images that have exceeded their retention window, and a concise status command lists every existing snapshot with timestamps and labels, giving operators at-a-glance verification of protection coverage. Typical use cases include automated protection of production VMs before patching, rapid rollback points for development containers, and compliance-friendly long-term retention for critical services. cv4pve-autosnap is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
