Finding Snapshot Files

Hello,

I am using vSphere 5.0 with ESX 4.1. Through MOB I could go to: Virtual machine -> Layout -> snapshot -> snapshot [snapshot id] -> snapshotFile to get the list of files. Is that good enough? One problem I have seen is there are no delta vmdk files listed in the snapshotFile object mentioned above. I came across lot of other posts which do not use the path above but instead go through LayoutEx and try to correlate it somehow. The problem with that I have come across is if snapshot id is, say, 29, I will get vmsn file with vm name and id but there is no correlation between vmdk\delta vmdk and snapshot id. There is no correct method for correlating files, is it?

Thanks,

V.
