Linux provide a very easy-to-use command for breaking files into pieces. Simple Linux commands allow you to break up files and reassemble them as needed in order to accommodate size restrictions. This will trigger a snapshot of all virtual machines which have names starting with MACHI* Listing Snapshots Get-Vm MACHI* | new-snapshot -name "NAME OF SNAP" -Description "Created $(Get-Date) powershell" -Quiesce -Memory –RunAsync Naturally, if we can do it for one VM, we can do it for many :-)

Get-Vm MACHINE-NAME | New-Snapshot -Name "NAME OF SNAP" -Description 'This is a test powershell snapshot' -Quiesce -Memory.

New-Snapshot -VM MACHINE-NAME -Name 'NAME OF SNAP' -Description 'This is a test powershell snapshot' -Quiesce -Memory.

In fact, because a snapshot can take a few minutes to create, you may want to create it in the background on the VMware host using –RunAsycn. Personally, I remember to have less problems restoring a snapshot with –Quiesce, although there is a slight trade-off. That is, the snapshot occurs without the operating system in the middle of trying to write something to disk. This has the effect of saving the virtual disk in a consistent state. Moreover, if the it has virtual tools installed, we can opt for a quiescent snapshot with –Quiesce.

If the virtual machine is running, we can also elect to save the memory state as well with the –Memory parameter. Also a good idea to provide a description. When we create the snapshot you will need to give it a name. This might be important because if you roll back a running virtual machine to a snapshot where the virtual machine was stopped, the virtual machine will be stopped. Also the snapshot will be created using that state. To create it, the virtual machine can be on or off. It is a very good idea to have it prior some changes in a virtual host.
