Save a Snapshot of a Virtual Machine

A snapshot is a saved state of a virtual machine. After you save a snapshot, you can continue working with the virtual machine and revert to the snapshot at any time. All of your settings and data revert to the saved state.

You can create a snapshot when the virtual machine is running, paused, or stopped.

To save a snapshot:

  1. Choose Virtual Machine > Take Snapshot.
  2. Type a name for the snapshot and, if desired, provide a short description.

To access the snapshot, choose Virtual Machine > Manage Snapshots.

For more information about snapshots, choose Help > Parallels Workstation Help and search for "snapshots."
