Abstract

A computer program product, system, and method for generating coded fragments comprises receiving a request to generate a memory snapshot for a virtual machine (VM), copying the VM's memory to generate a memory snapshot, obtaining information about cache structures within the memory snapshot, invalidating one or more of the cache structures and zeroing out corresponding cache data within the memory snapshot, and storing the memory snapshot to storage.
