Snapshots

The Snapshots window displays and manages all snapshots associated with a selected virtual machine in VirtualProg.

📸 Screenshot:

Snapshots allow you to capture the full state of a virtual machine at a given point in time. You can restore or create a template from any snapshot—ideal for testing, backup, or rollback.

Access

You can open the Snapshots window by selecting a VM in the Control Center and clicking the Snapshots icon in the toolbar.
