<h2>Snapshots Overview </h2>
<p>A <b>snapshot</b> enables you to save the state of a debug session for later review. Each snapshot stores all the data required to reproduce the state of the program at a specific step instruction within the debugger. Multiple snapshots are possible, which enables stepping through a debug session without having the program executing. These snapshots are stored in an <b>album</b> (.dsa) file that can be shared with others. Snapshot albums are listed in the <a href="../reference/cdt_u_dsa_view.htm">Snapshot Albums</a> view.</p>
<p><b>NOTE</b> Snapshots are only available when the Eclipse Debugger for C/C++ (EDC) plugins are installed.</p>
