snapshot take <name> [--description <desc>] [--live] [--uniquename Number,Timestamp,Space,Force]
but no explanation is given for these. In fact, a search for 'virtualbox snapshot uniquename timestamp' only turns up regurgitations of this syntax help. Have I missed something?
I don't think I've ever heard of anyone using this feature. It's an exotic thing that was most probably due to a customer requirement and never got the full attention it needed. You can find where and how it's used to uniquely identify the description of a snapshot in the following file: https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/vbox ... apshot.cpp
Search for "SnapshotUniqueFlags".

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
