types<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I wanted to ask that what is the difference b/w snapshot,stop and
suspend.i am aware of a difference which is written on wikki doc. but what i
wanted to know is that which one is more efficient in resource perspective.
which one is more heavier on RAM and Processor which one is quicker? etc.
thus i can design my backup plan accordingly.
