    Writing a programming book & want to make sure I start with a clean state each time to emulate the user experience at each phase. Reinstalling OS X each time takes a while. What I'd like to do is save the state after I've configured the new OS install, and just blast it in from some kind of image file.

    I know the state is saved each time I use the VM, but that's exactly not what I want. I want to roll back to a specific version, which is OS X after install AND after setting language, etc.

    Would like to do the same for an Ubuntu VM.

    Thanks!

    Rig:
    Late 2013 Mac Pro, 3.5 Ghz 6-core Xeon E5
    OS X 10.11
    64GB RAM, 256 GB SSD w/100GB available
    Parallels Desktop 11.0.2 w/OSX 10.9.3 and Ubuntu Linux VMs
