Defer snapshot deletion with time machine

Parallels automatically manages snapshots when used with time machine. It would be handy to receive a notification before deletion of a snapshot starts so the user can choose to defer the backup if it is not convenient to lose access to the VM at the current time.
 
Yes, that's correct. Looking again I see the "Notify me before snapshots are created" option - is this what I am looking for?
 
Correct. When snapshots are taken automatically by SmartGuard, you can only have a set number of snapshots at a time. You just need to be aware of it when this limit is reached (in this scenario, the oldest snapshot would be deleted when a new one is created). After this, whenever you're notified of a new snapshot creation, you can accept it or defer it.
 
Thanks, that sounds like what I need and apologies that I missed it first time round. Then please consider this closed!
