Snapshots

Snapshots do not grow to infinity. Snapshots are a delta bitmap of the parent .vmdk file. Snapshots grow in 16MB increments (by default) up to a maximum size equal to the size of the parent disk. An update to an existing sector in the snapshot will be overwritten; it's not a continuous append or transaction log which grows forever.
