How VMware Snapshots Work - It's Like It Never Happened!

[@nandopanda_ts]

very clear explanation

[@fontanot]

nice video there, what would happen if i created a snapshot from original and that child got hacked ? if i delete the child snapshot (the one hacked), what would happen to the original one? is it possible that my original would be now the one hacked?

Depends on the hack, and if the vulnerability existed prior to the snapshot. If you mean a virus or something, then it would be gone if you rolled back. If anything was deleted or lost. Then it would be recovered. But if the way into the machine already existed then you will need to fix that way in after rolling back.
