[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1840028, member: 110816"] Correct, the snapshots save the current state of your VM and the data held within. You can manually create them or on a schedule. You can revert to any one of them to go back to how things were when the snapshot was taken. You can absolutely do it routinely to keep your data up to date. These snapshots will be saved within your Parallels (assuming you go with that) installation folder on your Mac. So if your SSD dies, you will lose it all. If you have Time Machine backup enabled (and you really should if you don't have it right now), you can set up Parallels to backup the snapshots to TM. Barring that you can manually copy the snapshot files to some online backup as well.
