I am hoping that deleting all the snapshots and rolling the information into the current VDI will result in less disk space usage. (87 Gigs)Īs I understand it the lastest sanpshot VDI represents an incremental file from the time the latest snapshot was taken to the current time and each snapshot in the chain is an incremental file from the previous snapshot. We are trying to roll up all the snapshots into the current image because they are taking up too much disk space.

In fact the new filing cabinet just contains fragments - words, maybe a complete sentence or two - but useless without the first cabinet. I emphasise that because lots of people assume that it works like having a new filing cabinet and locking the old one - complete files would go into the new cabinet, but that aint how it works. Oh, and a chain is of course the simplest scenario, but branching snapshots have been supported for a while too - that's when a frozen parent has two or more directly linked difference chains attached to it.Īnd just to emphasise: when we talk about new data being written to the difference files, we are talking about changed disk sectors - i.e. The only thing you miss out is, "ok, now what happens if I delete/corrupt the base VDI or the control xml file".
