Yes, I agree with that.

That seem to be more clear in my mind.



one more question:

to create a template from a snapshot,
do you want:

1) create a snapshot
2) create a template

or do it in 1 step:

1)create template (with implicit snapshot).


And is this snapshot displayed in the snapshot tree of the vm ?

We can define our own Terms ;-) 

clone: 
- uses storage cloning features. 
- a clone is always on the same storage 

copy: 
- is simply a copy of all data 
- you can copy data to any other storage 

So those are slightly different things.
