You might elaborate a little more; If your asking about a memory dump file; yes - it is a snapshot of the app memory at the time of crash. The debug dlls gives you access to create the snapshot information at any time of the program execution and you may store those information to a DUMP file for a later analysis. The debug APIs like MiniDumpWriteDump[^] is used to create the dump files from our applications. You may also find these CodeProject articles helpful on how to analyse a crash dump file.

hiiii.... The situation to post the above messasge was.... After reading the sentence form Wikipedia "Copy the file system that holds the files in question to another location.This usually involves unmounting the file system and running a program like dump"..... And I know dump is row data copy process... Snapshot is a image of file system structure(when it takes). And I understand the dump image contains full data and snapshot image contains only addresses and pointers to the data. Anyway thanks for the reply... With regards ------------ ;P ;P ;P
