[one-users] How do you "save as" from sunstone 4.X?

Hi,

About the saveas - disk-snapshot rename, those kind of things are
documented in the compatibility guide [1].

Regarding the help message, the deferred disk snapshot creates an
OpenNebula Image, but that's only the internal resource. The disk contents
are not copied until the VM is shutdown, so it is not a hot snapshot (we
call those live snapshots). What would you change to make the message
clearer?

Regards
