 [-Credential <PSCredential[]>] [[-Name] <String>] [-SnapshotType <SnapshotType>] [<CommonParameters>]

VMObject

Id

Get-VMSnapshot [-CimSession <CimSession[]>] [-ComputerName <String[]>] [-Credential <PSCredential[]>]
 [-Id] <Guid> [<CommonParameters>]

Parent

Get-VMSnapshot [[-Name] <String>] -ParentOf <VirtualMachineBase> [-SnapshotType <SnapshotType>]
 [<CommonParameters>]

Child

Get-VMSnapshot [[-Name] <String>] -ChildOf <VMSnapshot> [-SnapshotType <SnapshotType>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

The Get-VMSnapshot cmdlet gets the checkpoints associated with a virtual machine or checkpoint.

Note: In Windows Server 2012 R2, virtual machine snapshots were renamed to virtual machine checkpoints. For clarity, this document will refer to virtual machine snapshots as checkpoints.

EXAMPLES

Example 1

PS C:\> Get-VMSnapshot -VMName TestVM

Gets all checkpoints of virtual machine TestVM.

Example 2

PS C:\> Get-VM -Name TestVM | Get-VMSnapshot -SnapshotType Standard

Gets all standard checkpoints of virtual machine TestVM.

Example 3

PS C:\> $snapshot = Get-VMSnapshot -Name 'Before applying updates' -VMName TestVM


PS C:\> Get-VMSnapshot -ParentOf $snapshot

Gets the immediate parent of checkpoint Before applying updates of virtual machine TestVM.

Example 4

PS C:\> $snapshot = Get-VMSnapshot -Name 'Before applying updates' -VMName TestVM


PS C:\> Get-VMSnapshot -ChildOf $snapshot

Gets the immediate child checkpoints of checkpoint Before applying updates of virtual machine TestVM.
