Explanation

Understanding Hyper-V Snapshots So what is a Snapshot exactly. A Snapshot in Hyper-V is basically a spot in time where the current running configuration of the Virtual Machines is saved to a Snapshot Differencing Disk file (AVHD), from which you can return to from the future. This point in time is linked back to the original VHD Base disk. When you take another Snapshot it links to the first snapshot which links the the Base VHD (like a daisy chain). hypervsnapshots-back-one
