![]() This is fine in smaller numbers, but once you start having 10, 15, 20+ snapshots, every one of those represents an additional VHD in the chain. So, in order to have a complete VM you have the original VHD + the delta VHD. With none you have a single VHD containing all of the data for the VM, once you take a snapshot a new delta VHD is created with all new data written going forward from the time of the snapshot. The underlying issue stems from the nature of snapshots. Running a virtual machine on a snapshot for extended periods of time can cause instability and data loss.
