+Snapshotting
+------------
+
+New VM snapshots may be created in replay mode. They can be used later
+to recover the desired VM state. All VM states created in replay mode
+are associated with the moment of time in the replay scenario.
+After recovering the VM state replay will start from that position.
+
+Default starting snapshot name may be specified with icount field
+rrsnapshot as follows:
+ -icount shift=7,rr=record,rrfile=replay.bin,rrsnapshot=snapshot_name
+
+This snapshot is created at start of recording and restored at start
+of replaying. It also can be loaded while replaying to roll back
+the execution.
