Sean Dwyer, Support Escalation Engineer: While working with customers, I have frequently run into situations where they need help with Hyper-V snapshots. Help with understanding what snapshots are, how to use them, best practices with them, or, in worst case scenarios, they may need help in recovering them in order to use a VM.

What I’d like to do in this post, is run down some quick and helpful topics that will keep you on track to being successful each time you use the Hyper-V Snapshot feature.
