Using Checkpoints
Checkpoints:
• Are static images of the data on a virtual machine at a given moment
• Are not replacements for backups
• Were called snapshots in previous versions
Using checkpoints:
• When you create a checkpoint, Hyper-V writes to adifferencing virtual hard disk
• When you apply a checkpoint, the virtual machine reverts to the configuration as it existed at the time the checkpoint was created
• You can perform a virtual machine export of a checkpoint
