Changing Snapshot Options
Select:
VM > Settings > Options > Snapshot
On this panel, you can do the following:
- You can disable snapshots for the virtual machine. The virtual machine cannot have a snapshot in order for snapshots to be disabled.
To disable snapshots for this virtual machine, check the Disable snapshots check box.
- You can view the date when the snapshot of the virtual machine was taken.
- You can lock the snapshot (so that you cannot accidentally overwrite it with a new snapshot)
To lock a snapshot, check the Lock this snapshot check box.
- You can specify the way Workstation handles the snapshot when you power off the virtual machine.
Options when powering off include:
-
Just power off leaves the snapshot as it is.
-
Revert to the snapshot reverts to the snapshot so the virtual machine always starts in the state when the snapshot was taken.
-
Update the snapshot takes a new snapshot of the virtual machine state as it was just before you powered off; this replaces the previous snapshot.
-
Ask me always asks what you want to do with the snapshot when you power off.
