In this article, we are going to learn how to create a Virtual machine using the snapshot. The VM snapshots are very helpful to recover our virtual machine from a disaster. We can also consider that a VM snapshot is the copy of the disk file of our Virtual machine. The Virtual machine snapshots are the best way to clone the Virtual machine without any interruption at the same time, we can use the snapshot to create multiple VM's.
