Snapshots

MAMP PRO snapshots allow you to quickly and easily create a snapshot of a site’s files and databases. Snapshots are not tied to a specific installation of MAMP PRO, so you can share them with other MAMP PRO (Mac) users. Sharing snapshots between the Mac and Windows versions of MAMP PRO is not supported.
