I want to propose 2 features for Snapshots.

1. I would like to see how big is the snapshot.
2. Upload Snapshot
We have the Download Spanshopt feature great. but let's say i have at home xen installed on my server, i'm configuring my server and when everything is fine i want to upload to teknic.
pls? :D

I think for that you can just gzip everything on your home server, scp it to unixshell and unzip it. You'd have to make sure that permissions don't get messed up, but you'd have to do that with an "upload snapshot" feature too.

On a side note, I think this thread belongs in "Suggestions and Improvements"

untaring a snapshot and then doing an "rsync -avP --delete /path/to/dir root@ip.address:/" should essentially be an upload. It's on the feature list, but we are completly re-writing Teknic right now be a lot nicer and will probably not make it until 2.0 or 2.1.
