Migrating Windows Instances Across Clouds / Virtualization Hypervisors
Submitted by mmorsi on Tue, 2011-11-22 11:48
I've added Windows support to Snap, now making it possible to take snapshots of a Windows machine using the same simple tooling as with Linux. Thus it is now possible to move both Windows and Linux instances across disparate VM hypervisors and cloud providers. You may download the windows installer here
Snap not only permits moving an instance between any two generic hypervisors and/or cloud providers, but between any physical or virtual machines as well as well as taking and restoring generic system snapshots.
I've submitted Snap to Fedora and Ubuntu, package reviewers would be more than appreciated.
Stay tuned for more updates!

I installed on XP and i received: The c:\ProgramFiles\snap\snaptool.exe is not a valid Win32 application . One post of yours must be dedicated to Win usage . There are many win instalations that must be converted , even for archaiological reasons .
Nice work , thanks
Thanks
Hey thanks for the feedback. You are correct, I've only developed and tested snap against Windows Vista / Win7 (besides Fedora and Ubuntu/Debian).
I've already begun working on the next version of snap incorporating a ton of fixes and new features. I'll look into adding Win XP support during this development phase (I can't imagine it'll be that hard, most likely will just need to recompile the exe against XP).
Shame you didn't leave you're email address, else I would email you directly when it is released. In any case, I'll announce the new version here, so be sure to check back periodically.
Take care.
