Making a Snapshot
You can create a snapshot when the virtual machine is running, paused or stopped. Making a
snapshot when the virtual machine is running doesn't stop the virtual machine.
To make a snapshot
1 Start Parallels Desktop.
2 In the Select Virtual Machine dialog, select a virtual machine and click the Select button.
If you want to make a snapshot of the stopped virtual machine, click the Create a snapshot
button on the toolbar or choose Make snapshot from the Actions menu.
If you want to make a snapshot of the running virtual machine, start the virtual machine by
clicking the Start
button. When you decide that it is time to save the state, click the
Create a snapshot
button.
1 In the Snapshot Parameters window, provide the name and a short description for the
snapshot. Click OK.
2 Wait while the state of virtual machine is being saved.
Now you can continue working with your virtual machine.
