Take Snapshot of a VM

1 – Right-click the virtual machine in the inventory and click Take Snapshot.

2 – Enter name for the snapshot.

3 – Enter a description for the snapshot. This step is optional.

4 – Select the Snapshot the virtual machine’s memory option to capture the memory of the virtual machine. This step is optional.

5 – Select the Quiesce guest file system (Needs VMware Tools installed) option to pause running processes on the guest operating system, so that file system contents are in a known consistent state when you take the snapshot. This step is optional.

Note: Quiesce the virtual machine files only when the virtual machine is powered on and you do not have to capture the virtual machine’s memory.
