After doing some reading I was getting the impression that commiting snapshots will be so much easier. &nbsp;I very rarely even mess with snapshots since I typically have Veeam or something similar in place. &nbsp;This is a rare instance. &nbsp;I went ahead and comitted snapshots last night and ran a manual VM image level backup. &nbsp;I'll download/restore that image.<br />

Thanks!

ESXi guest VM openeing in VMWare player

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
