VMware ESX 3 snapshots

Posted by osde.info Nov 26, 2007


Here's a CentOS 4 VM with 4 snapshots, in each snapshot I added a 40M file and in two of the snapshots i snapped the memory as well.

Note a memory snapshot file is ALWAYS created if it doesn't contain anything !

The .VMSD contains the snapshot definition !

The .VMSN's contain snapshot of the memory !

The *-delta.VMDK's contain disk diffs !
