Summary: | A method includes loading a virtual machine snapshot of a virtual machine from a first computing device to a mobile device. The virtual machine runs on the first computing device and the virtual machine snapshot includes a COW file and an image file with files from the virtual machine. The method includes launching the virtual machine on a second computing device, where the second computing device reads the virtual machine snapshot from the mobile device and the second computing device records changes to a copy of the COW file stored on the second computing device while the second computing device runs the virtual machine. The method includes terminating a virtual machine session running on the second computing device and copying the COW file to the mobile device. The COW file includes changes to the virtual machine snapshot from execution of the virtual machine on the second computing device. |
