Snapshots

Quickly save your host and database data using the Snapshot tool in MAMP PRO. To create a Snapshot first highlight a host in the hosts table, then click the Snapshot button on the toolbar to create Snapshot of your host. Your host data will be saved to the ~/MAMP PRO/snapshots folder. The Snapshot icon on the menu bar will be blue until it is finished being compressed and saved.
