Snapshot component files question

[walterwatts]

If I wanted to start keeping multiple snapshots on my own (while I'm waiting for Vmware to add the feature to Fusion ),

could someone tell me which of the files in the included directory listing (see attachment) constitute a full snapshot?

S'il vous plaît.

It's a really bad idea to manually manage snapshot files, since messing up may corrupt not only the particular backup you're working with but also anything else depending on the ones you're working with. If you do decide to go this route anyway, I'd recommend backing up the core image at least once as well - in case you make a mistake, you won't be totally lost.

AFAIK there's no official documentation for what files are, but Ulli (continuum) has a nice unofficial list

Thanks etung.

After looking at the descriptions of the VM files in Ulli's list, I've decided to wait until Vmware implements the multiple snapshot feature.
