Working with Snapshots and Undo Disks 149

Snapshots Tree Pane

You can see the snapshots tree for the virtual machine in the upper pane of the Snapshots

Manager window. Snapshots icons appear as screenshots of the guest OS window if the virtual

machine was running at the time you created a snapshot. If you create a snapshot when the

virtual machine is stopped, the icon will look like a display.

The first icon represents the root of the snapshots system - the initial state of the virtual machine

used as the reference point. You can delete the root icon only with all the snapshots created for

the virtual machine. While at least one snapshot exists, the root snapshot exists.

All other snapshots of the same virtual machine are descendants of the root snapshot. The first

snapshot contains "differences" with respect to the root snapshot. The second successive

snapshot contains differences with respect to the first snapshot. You may want to return to one

of the previous snapshots and work with it. If you then create its snapshot, a new branch for

such snapshots is created.

An icon that represents the current state of the virtual machine is marked with a red flag.

Snapshots Property Pane

Once the snapshot is selected in the Snapshot tree, its properties are displayed in the following

fields:

 Created. Indicates the date and time when the snapshot was created.

 Name. Displays the default or user-specified name.

 Description. Contains the short description provided at the moment when the snapshot was

created.

Deleting Snapshot

1 Select the snapshot in the tree.

2 Click the Delete button.

If you deleted an intermediate snapshot, the information it contained is merged to the snapshot

that followed it.

Note. You cannot delete the root icon, but it gets automatically deleted after you delete all the

other snapshots.

Going to a Specific Snapshot

Before you go to a specific snapshot, decide what you want to do with the current state of the

virtual machine - by default, it will not be saved. To retain changes made since the last snapshot,

make a new snapshot.

1 Select a snapshot in the tree.

2 Click the Go To button.

3 In the message box, click Yes to return the virtual machine to that snapshot's state or No to

retain the current state.

4 Click Close to return to the virtual machine.
