Help with understanding ESXI snapshots

[Deadringers]

Hi,

I've been using snapshots to install my exchange server - e.g. test an install - then roll back and test another one.

Now I have it setup sweetly - e.g. all the settings and items I need.

Do I need to consolidate the othersnapshots or just delete them?

here is where I'm at:

Delete All will consolidate all snapshots.

Delete will consolidate the selected snapshot up to it's "parent" only, and it will remove all snapshots (as in really delete them) that were below the selected one in the tree.

Delete all when your done is the way to go.

Here's a blog post I wrote about snapshots for more info
