How many snapshots can a VM have in vSphere 7.x?

In vSphere 7.x, a virtual machine (VM) can have up to 32 snapshots. Snapshots are used to capture the state of a VM at a specific point in time, allowing for easy rollback in case of issues or changes that need to be reverted. Each snapshot captures not only the virtual machine’s disk state but also its memory and power state.

Having a limit of 32 snapshots allows users to manage the snapshot lifecycle effectively while preventing excessive overhead that can result from having too many snapshots, which can lead to performance degradation and longer backup times. The limit is a balance between giving users sufficient flexibility while maintaining system performance and manageability.

Options indicating a lower or higher number are not aligned with vSphere 7.x's specifications and therefore do not reflect the accurate capability of the platform.
