It's a temporary snapshot created by the host when snapshots are deleted with the VM up and running. Unless there's an issue with deleting the snapshot(s) the helper snapshot is deleted automatically after finishing the delete process.</P><P></P><P>André</P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 22 Apr 2012 08:30:41 GMT https://communities.vmware.com/t5/ESXi-Discussions/what-is-a-vmware-helper-snapshot-file/m-p/838614#M61435 a_p_ 2012-04-22T08:30:41Z
