Los metadatos en s\u00ed se almacenan en una imagen de disco virtual (VDI) dentro de un SR. Esto se utiliza para dos prop\u00f3sitos: una copia de seguridad general de metadatos (por ejemplo, para recuperarse de una falla del host si el archivador a\u00fan est\u00e1 en buen estado) y SR port\u00e1tiles (por ejemplo, usar un disco duro externo para mover m\u00e1quinas virtuales a otro host). Los metadatos solo se restauran como una acci\u00f3n expl\u00edcita del administrador, pero ocurre en los casos en que el host no tiene informaci\u00f3n sobre el SR y debe ubicar el VDI de metadatos para recuperar los metadatos. El VDI de metadatos se ubica buscando (en orden alfanum\u00e9rico UUID) cada VDI, mont\u00e1ndolo y viendo si hay un archivo de metadatos adecuado presente. El primer VDI coincidente se considera el VDI de metadatos y se restaura desde \u00e9l. En general, el propietario de la m\u00e1quina virtual controla el contenido de las VDI y el administrador del host no deber\u00eda confiar en ellas. Un invitado malintencionado puede manipular su disco para que parezca una copia de seguridad de metadatos. Un invitado no puede elegir los UUID de sus VDI, pero un invitado con un disco tiene un 50 % de posibilidades de clasificarse antes que la copia de seguridad de metadatos leg\u00edtima.
