snapshot

I have a question about the way snapshots work in Parallels 15. If I have a snapshot of my current environment and an older snapshot, can I switch between them without loosing my current setup? Will any newer snapshots be lost if I switch back to something older? I need to test something in an...

Hello, We're trying to test something on a test VM and wanted to see if when we revert to a snapshot can we set it so the time (system clock on VM) reverts back to the time of the snapshot as well? Anyone have any suggestions Thanks

Hope you can help. I was in the control center, and it asked if I wanted to revert to snapshot, and I clicked yes, and it took me back to the only one it had which was 2013. There is now only data from that period on my computer and in Windows. This was not my intention. I have a back up in Time...

I think this only concerns Japanese users. I have a snapshot made at regular intervals. The ability to do so is a very important feature of Parallels Desktop for me. However, I primarily work in the Japanese environment. When you type Japanese, you are constantly hitting the Return key to...

I have had zero issues through many versions of Parallels and since I wanted to update to Mojave, I purchased Parallels 14 update, installed it, the tools and then updated OS to Mojave. My windows 10 guest came up fine and was working until the first time it wanted to create a new snapshot. It...

Hi I have a lot of snapshots (about 140gb. 76 snapshots 2gb each. See some of them in attached image), but they don't show up in Snapshot Manager, so i can't delete them. I have read and followed several threads and run terminal: -----------------------------------------------------------------...

Both from backup, and internal storage optimization points of view, it will make lots of sense to create snapshots on external media: Have the VM itself on the Macs internal disk, and once the external backup disk is connected, create a snapshot and store on the external disk. Just like...

Hi. I've had to disable SmartGuard because not only is deleting and creating snapshots painfully slow, but now it closes (force quits) all my open apps when the process ends. I come back and all I see is the desktop. Any ideas what could be going on? Thanks.

I am not at all sure what's going on here, whether this is chicken or egg, but... I booted my Win 10 guest OS (it has many hours on it now, and has been very stable). Before the Win10 home screen appeared, the USB device detect popup appeared, inviting me to assign the device (a joystick) to...

I have a Windows 10 VM running on Parallels. My host OS is OSX. I would like to give a snapshot of my VM to someone else, who is also running Windows 10 on OSX. The folder with the entire VM, `Windows 10.pvm` is 33GB, so I can't share that. I looked in `Windows 10.pvm/Snapshots` and there are...

Steps to reproduce: Create a large VM (mine is 300GB) Manually create a snaphot and then, quickly, ... ... while the titlebar of the parallels window says "Synchronizing", choose "Quit Parallels Desktop" Result: You will get an error message saying and Parallels will not exit. Furthermore...

It is useful to have the SmartGuard system managing snaphots and maintaining a maximum of N Smartguard snapshots at any given time. However, sometimes it's desirable to take snapshots at critical points in time. Currently this can only be done by manually taking a non-smartguard snapshots, which...

Currently SmartGuard's automatic snapshot process initiates on its own schedule which is not under user control. Sometimes, when the user is in the middle of deleting one or more snapshots via the "Manage Snapshots" dialog, the SmartGuard process will initiate. If the snapshot currently being...

Make Snapshots more intuitive. Currently if you open the Control Panel and select a VM you are faced with a number of Snapshots plus one called "You are here". Well, "You are here" is not descriptive, you are where? Suggest this should be changed to "Unsaved Snapshot". Also, clarification of...

When you do a Rollback, the software then asks if you want to delete the Snapshot, well actually, remove the snapshot (note the inconsistent terminology). So Snapshot and Rollback, are they the same thing? As a user (newbie) I see these program messages and say to myself "well, if it says it's a...

Hi All. I have Parallels Desktop 13 Pro for Mac Desktop. Until recently, Snaphot under SmartGuard has been working fine. Now, I am suddenly getting it opening several times a day, but then vanishing again. A full, normal Snapshot seems to still happen, but not every day - it just keeps popping...

It would be useful to be able to include text from the previous snapshot automatically in the Description area of a new snapshot (like including an email in a reply). Maybe optionally tag it with the date and name of the previous snapshot. This would create a log or history or heritage of the...

Hi, i think that could be a great feature the capability of delete all snapshots before a certain snapshot. It could be the "complementary" feature of deleting snapshot and all following snapshots. Thanks in advance

I'm on version 12.2.1 of Parallels Desktop for Mac, running a Windows 10 VM. However, this problem has been present before version 12. On schedule, Parallels notifies me that a Snapshot is due and recommended. The program creates the new snapshot fairly quickly -- no problem. The PROBLEM is that...
