The Linked Clone Snapshot
Workstation 5 creates a snapshot in the parent virtual machine when you create a linked clone. This snapshot preserves the exact state of the virtual machine when you create the clone.
Caution: You cannot delete this snapshot without destroying the linked clone. It is safe to delete this snapshot if you have deleted the clone depending on it.
The Snapshot Manager allows you to rename any snapshot. If you rename a snapshot for a cloned VM, you may want to use the
Description field to aid you in future identification. Refer to
The Snapshot Manager for more information on renaming snapshots.
