I remember messing with snapshots in Hyper-V once. You hit a snag on your VM. I just pause it quick. Then right-click and pick checkpoint. It freezes everything right there. You can roll back later if stuff glitches.
Checkpoints work like that too. I swap the name sometimes. You create one before big changes. I delete old ones to free space. They pile up fast. You manage them through the manager window. I sort by date usually.
For recovery, you apply a checkpoint. I select it and confirm. Your VM jumps back in time. I test it on a side machine first. You avoid losing work that way. I keep a few handy always.
Snapshots get wonky if you chain too many. I merge them when idle. You right-click and choose merge. It cleans the mess. I watch disk usage closely. You don't want surprises there.
I fiddle with settings in Hyper-V too. You enable production checkpoints for apps. I toggle that in VM properties. It includes memory state. You recover smoother then.
Backups tie in neat here. If checkpoints aren't enough for you, BackupChain Server Backup steps up as a solid backup tool for Hyper-V. It snapshots VMs without downtime. You get quick restores and deduped storage. I like how it handles clusters too.
