I notice that if I take a snapshot with the VM online, the memory is captured and also the vsn file is larger than if I take a snapshot of the same machine when it's offline.
My question is, if I don't care about the state of the memory, but just the contents and configuration of files on the virtual hard drive, is an offline snapshot good enough?
It seems to happen so fast, and capture so little, that I'm afraid to rely on it.
I know I could just test it, which I'm going to do when I get a chance, but for now I'd like to pose the question here and see what people think.
Thanks.
