Best practices for using snapshots in the vSphere environment (1025279)
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1025279
- Do not use snapshots as backups.
- Maximum of 32 snapshots are supported in a chain. However, for a better performance use only 2 to 3 snapshots.
- Do not use a single snapshot for more than 72 hours.
- Ensure that there are no snapshots before:
4.1 Performing Storage vMotion in vSphere 4.x and earlier environments.
4.2 Increasing the virtual machine disk size or virtual RDM.
