Another answer. You have to leave the application server machine on and some how make sure no one comes along and changes any thing. When you go somewhere else and then use VNC you will see what is currently on the machine.
Now if some one else used the machine without telling you, of course it not look like it did when you left it. So as the others here said it is all saved on the application server or not depending on what was done to the machine while you are away.
