I have an application that I would like to be able to create "snapshots" of (sort of like you might do with a virtual machine). Basically I would like to be able to allow the user to do a bunch of processing on the application and be able to take snapshots at various points that he could come back to later. I'm not even sure if App-V would be a technology I could use for this. If not, how would I go about doing something like this?

Further Clarification: There was a legacy application which didn't have the functionality built in to save the current state of a project to the file system. I was thinking of using this as a temporary workaround until a replacement application became available.

This is an interesting question. The only thing I can think of for this would be snapshotting the whole machine (assuming a VM), or using the App-V streaming process to capture each point, which might make replayability a problem.

Of course, this entirely assumes that the application state is self-contained on a single system. If it's talking to remote SQL or a webservice, etc (if it depends on something else), then if you can't also snapshot the remote entity, you can't do this at all.

Give us more background please : What is the problem that you're actually trying to solve?
