append—Changes are stored in a temporary .REDO file. If a system administrator deletes the
redo-log file, the virtual machine returns to the state it was in the last time it was used in

nonpersistent—All disk writes issued by software running inside a virtual machine appear to be
written to the independent disk. In fact, they are discarded after the virtual machine is powered
off. As a result, a virtual disk or physical disk in independent-nonpersistent mode is not
modified by activity in the virtual machine.

when you power off or reset the virtual machine without writing any changes to the disk. You
can permanently apply the changes saved in the redo-log file to a disk in undoable mode so that
they become part of the main disk files.
