What is a snapshot in vmware ?

What is a snapshot in vmware ?


A snapshot preserves the state and data of a virtual machine at a specific point in time.

The state includes the virtual machine’s power state (for example, powered-on, powered-off, suspended).

-The data includes all of the files that make up the virtual machine.
-This includes disks, memory, and other devices, such as virtual network interface cards.

A virtual machine provides several operations for creating and managing snapshots and snapshot chains. These operations let you create snapshots, revert to any snapshot in the chain, and remove snapshots.
