So you think it will be ok?
Yes, I think so.
This is a live, critical server , and I was hoping I could delete older snapshots first.
You could, if the snapshots show up in the Snapshot Manager. However, must backup applications don't maintain the snapshot chain in the .vmsd file, which contains the graphical representation of the snapshots in the Snapshot Manager.
What is the purpose of the Delete button if you have to use the Delete all?
With the "Delete" button you can delete/consolidate a single snapshot into it's parent. The "Delete All" button consolidates all snapshots into the base disk, no matter whether they show up in the Snapshot Manger or not.
As mentioned before, make sure nothing interrupts the deletion process (e.g. BackupExec), then you should have no issues.
