Are "checkpoint" files the same as "Snapshot" files?
If they are, the Set-VM cmdlet has a "SnapshotFileLocation" parameter.

I have a Server 2019 Core machine with a VM. How do I set the Checkpoint File Location using powershell so I can set it to automatically set checkpoints and save it to a network share?

Thank you! -

I found the parameter here. Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for, was just unsure of which command it was.
Much appreciated.
