Question
Is it possibe to restore the Windows system state from a VMware virtual machine snapshot?
Cause
The Windows system has crashed and the system state needs to be restored.
Answer
Restoring the Windows system state from a VMware snapshot is not possible. While the system state consists of many files on the file system, it also consists of the registry. There are many steps needed to restore the system state successfully to a new machine that are not possible when restoring flat files from a VMware snapshot.
