VMWare Workstation 12 snapshot - not saving guest folders setting

[whorsfall]

Hi,

I am noticing that when I save a snapshot - it does not remember the state of the shared folders. So when I do a restore they are disabled and I have to go turn them on again.

Is there expected behaviour - is there any way around it?

Thanks,

Ward

Hi,

The intended behavior is that the snapshot saves complete state of your virtual machine configuration including defined VMware host guest shared folders.

In other words, if you take a snapshot and then add a new share, the new share will be forgotten when you roll back to the snapshot.

So the way to resolve that is to add the share before taking a snapshot.

If you are seeing different behavior then that might be a bug.
