What is a Full Snapshot?

A full snapshot is a copy of the current state of memory. A snapshot contains:

• The state of all pages in the process
• Information on how much memory is allocated
• Information on all currently active allocations
• The contents of the entire process memory

Full snapshots take much longer than standard snapshots and use up a lot more memory.

What is it useful for?

Full snapshots are useful when you want to view the contents of memory in the Memory View. They are also used to find unreferenced (leaked) allocations in the Leak View.
