snapshots
What to do with current snapshot when the VM is powered off
snapshot.action = "keep"
this can be set with the gui: just power off
snapshot.action = "autoRevert"
this can be set with the gui: revert to snapshot
snapshot.action = "autoCommit"
this can be set with the gui: take a new snapshot
snapshot.action = "prompt"
this can be set with the gui: ask me
The silent-default for this option is
snapshot.action = "keep"
Set the path where snapshots are stored
workingDir = "F:\test"
workingdir = "..\..\suspend"
This parameter is available on all platforms.
Use it with care !
Related parameters in the vmx-file maybe required
suspend.Directory = "h:\suspend"
fileSearchPath = "..\..\suspend;h:\suspend;."
The filesearchPath allows more then one path - see syntax above.
Set the maximal number of snapshots that are allowed
snapshot.numSnapshots = "3"
Wonder why this is not available via the GUI ?
If the number of allowed snapshots is exceeded - an attempt to take another snapshot will display
a message.
Set the minimum required diskspace that must be available to take a snapshot
snapshot.minFreeSpace = "55000000000"
Wonder why this is not available via the GUI ?
You can set a value in bytes here - maybe useful to prevent automatic backup tools running amok and create snapshots en masse.
