Linked clones
A linked clone is a copy of a virtual machine based on a specific snapshot of that virtual machine (known as the parent). When a linked clone pool is created, VMware View Composer creates a replica.
The replica is the original read-only base virtual machine disk merged with a specific point-in-time snapshot chosen to be the point of deployment for a given VMware View desktop pool. Replicas are always thin provisioned.
