When you create a snapshot it takes a copy of the virtual machine config file (.vmx), and then creates the disk snapshot files.
.vmx Virtual machine configuration
.vmdk Virtual disk
-flat-vmdk Disk that contains the data
The disk snapshot files are:
-0000#-delta.vmdk Snapshot differences file
-SnapshotName.vmsn Virtual machine configuration of a snapshot -0000#.vmsd Dictionary for snapshots and associated disk Each time a snapshot is taken all changes to the disk are written to a differences file. When a snapshot is deleted all the changes are commited to the original disk.
