    Got a question on how snapshots work. A snapshot through SmartGuard was just created and it looks like Parallels renamed the original files to a new name (new GUID) and then created new files with the original GUID name. Is this how it is supposed to work?
    I would have thought, to help with backups etc.., that instead the original name stays and just a new file with a new GUID is created then. That would ensure that if the original file had not changed it also would not be backed-up anymore (or synchronized). Whereas with the existing method the whole file is considered new (due to the rename) and it thus backed-up.

    Thoughts anyone?
