Reading a snapshot file

FerroSoftware — Fri, 19 Aug 2022 22:08:12 GMT

I have a VM with a one snapshot. The VM is powered off.

When browsing the storage, the file layout looks like this:

----------------------------------------------

test.vmdk - 8 GB

test-000001.vmdk - 200 MB

-----------------------------------------------

or via SSH:

----------------------------------------------

test-flat.vmdk - 8 GB

test-000001-sesparse.vmdk - 200 MB

-----------------------------------------------

By opening the test-000001.vmdk snapshot disk file via VixDiskLib_Open I'm getting the whole (merged?) content of the parent + snapshot disk (=8 GB size).

Can I somehow read only the snapshot file (200 MB)?
