What are VMWare Snapshots and when should you use them?

VMware snapshots are a feature of the VMware vSphere platform that allows administrators to create a point-in-time copy of a virtual machine’s disk for backup, testing, or other purposes. When a snapshot is taken, the current state of the virtual machine’s disk is saved and all future writes are directed to a new delta file.

Are VMWare snapshots backups?

A VMware snapshot is a point-in-time copy of the virtual machine’s disk files and memory state. These snapshots are used to capture the state of a virtual machine at a specific point in time and allow users to revert to a previous state if necessary. They are commonly used for testing, patching, recovery, or rollback, but can also be used for taking backups of virtual machines.
