Snapshots
MAMP PRO snapshots allow you to quickly and easily create a snapshot of a host (files & databases). Snapshots are not tied to a specific installation of MAMP PRO. This means that you can share snapshots with other users of MAMP PRO (Mac). It is not intended to share snapshots between the Mac version and the Windows version of MAMP PRO.
