      "Snapshots of virtualized Satellite Server" section / option should mention that the VM snapshot should be done with VM shut down, or at least with Satellite services stopped.

      Otherwise `redis` service can be "VM-snapshoted" with an incoherent DB written on the disk, and an attempt to restore Satellite from the snapshot will fail on redis DB corruption. Easy to recover from, but we should warn readers about it.
