Running VMware Player : Taking Snapshots for ACEs

Taking Snapshots for ACEs
If your system administrator has enabled the option to take a user snapshot, you can take a single snapshot of the ACE. Choose Player > Snapshot > Take Snapshot and either choose to take the snapshot while the ACE is running or have VMware Player power off the ACE, take the snapshot, and power the ACE on again. (The software shuts down the ACE and restarts it after taking the snapshot. You don’t need to power off or restart the machine yourself.)
All snapshot and power operations, including exiting VMware Player, are disabled while the software is taking a powered-off snapshot.
 
Note If an ACE gets stuck while taking a powered-off snapshot (for example, at a message that says you can power off your machine), issue the command to take a powered-off snapshot again to force the machine to power off. The machine will be powered on again and the snapshot will have been taken.
You can also replace an existing user snapshot. Choose Player > Snapshot > Take Snapshot and choose Yes in the message dialog that appears asking if you want to replace the previous snapshot.
If the administrator has enabled the option to revert to the user snapshot, you can revert the ACE to the existing snapshot by choosing Player > Snapshot > Revert to Snapshot.
If you are permitted to take a user snapshot, you can also remove it. Select Player > Snapshot > Delete Snapshot.
