Virtual Machine Files
File	Usage	Description
.vmx	vmname.vmx	Virtual machine configuration file
.vmxf	vmname.vmxf	Additional virtual machine configuration files
.vmdk	vmname.vmdk	Virtual disk characteristics
-flat.vmdk	vmname-flat.vmdk	Virtual machine data disk
.nvram	vmname.nvram or nvram	Virtual machine BIOS or EFI configuration
.vmem	vmname.vmem	Virtual machine paging backup file
.vmsd	vmname.vmsd	Virtual machine snapshots information (metadata) file
.vmsn	vmname.vmsn	Virtual machine memory snapshot file
.vswp	vmname.vswp	Virtual machine swap file
.vmss	vmname.vmss	Virtual machine suspend file
.log	vmware.log	Current virtual machine log file

Additional files are created when you perform certain tasks with the virtual machine.

• A .hlog file is a log file that is used by vCenter Server to keep track of virtual machine files that must be removed after a certain operation completes.
• A .vmtx file is created when you convert a virtual machine to a template. The .vmtx file replaces the virtual machine configuration file (.vmx file).
