Added:
+ VM State Manager - Rebuilt state backup algorithm to be less space consumable and
added feedback form
Notes:
- !!! States saved with previous version are NOT supported
- Only "monolithicSparse" and "twoGbMaxExtentSparse" VMDK files supported.
Other types are in plans...
- Do NOT use VMWare Snapshots simultaneously with VM State Manager, otherwise
some states may get broken.
- VMWare will throw internal vmdk consistency errors each time State is
reverted - Just click "Yes" to "Do you wish to repair the disk and continue?"
dialogue.
- Deleting states will delete only index, return points and vmem; the HDD
parts will remain for consistency
- Supended states may leave obsolete vmem files in VMX directory
