Priority Tab

Choose: Edit > Preferences > Priority

Under Snapshots, you can determine whether your snapshots are taken in the foreground or in the background. Taking a snapshot is not an instantaneous process. Enabling background snapshots allows you to continue working while Workstation completes the snapshot process invisibly in the background.

 

Note On Linux, you must be running Workstation as root in order to change the settings on the Priority tab of the preferences editor.

Select Take and restore snapshots in the background to enable background snapshots. A progress indicator for the background snapshot is displayed in the lower-right corner of the Workstation window.

 

Note You must wait until Workstation finishes taking a snapshot before you engage in any more snapshot activity.
