    During ESXi boot I see the option to press Shift+R and enter VMware Hypervisor Recovery.

    Is it documented anywhere?

    When a state is saved in order to be recovered?

    Can I save the current status before an update, in order to recover it in case of need?

    Regards

    you cant save a state you can only backup the config and use it on a resintallation.

    the hypervisor recovery is like windows last known good config, after and update the hypervisor has a older copy to revert to in case of an error.
