Im working with VMware Workstation 12 and I never Suspend my Virtual Machines, because I don't trust the option to Suspend your Machine. Today I was searching about 2 hours, if there are any disadvantages in supsending your VM, but I couldn't find any.
I just can't belive that there aren't any other disadvantages than losing some little space on your local computer.
Have I missed something, or is suspending really that safe and good to use?
Info: All my VMs are running on Windows 10
In terms of resource consumption Suspend needs to save VM's current state, therefore used memory should be dumped to .vmss file. Creating this file and saving it - this is overhead you have.
