Hyper-V 3 virtual machine Snapshot Learning (iv) How to import snapshots and export snapshots

The third section describes applying and deleting snapshots, and this section describes how to import export snapshots

When you move a virtual machine that contains snapshots, you will export the snapshot files as well as the original hard disk files for the virtual machines. If you include multiple-level snapshots, you need to be aware of merging between snapshots. If you want to export the snapshot tree as a whole, you need to select the bottommost snapshot. or perform a full virtual machine export function.

In practical applications, it is recommended that you do not create multiple-level and different-level snapshot trees with different depths (as shown in Figure 1), which is a disaster for administrators. A good habit is to create a snapshot and test it as soon as possible to perform the merge function to reduce the number and depth of snapshots. Although there are many import export virtual machine modes available in Windows 8, it is recommended that you export virtual machines with snapshots or use Hyper-V Manager to complete them.

First part export snapshots

The Hyper-V Manager provides snapshot export, which allows you to export a snapshot that has been created, in this case, the virtual machine named Windows Server 2003 SP2 creates four snapshots and exports a snapshot with the name "third snapshot".

Step 1th, turn off the virtual machine. Right-click the snapshot named "Third snapshot" and select Export from the pop-up shortcut menu, as shown in Figure 2.
