The rectangle denoted by Virtual machine base represents the virtual machine base or the last non-
Data Protector created virtual machine delta file on the active branch.
VMΔ
A rectangle denoted by VMΔ represents a virtual machine delta file created by a Data Protector
snapshot.
DP snapshot
A rectangle denoted by DP snapshot represents a process (snapshot operation triggered by Data

it creates a new delta file, which becomes the active state. The active state is denoted by round
corners.
