Saving a state for use later? And multiple states?

[Gibbz]

Ok ive been trying to figure out if its possible to save a state for later use and or have multiple saved states.
Ive found I cannot do this i can only save the state, but when i resume the machine it removes the saved state.

Is there a hack or plugin that will allow me to this?

"Saved states" as in memory/reg dumps that VBox offers when you shut down a VM? No, AFAIK you can't have multiple versions of that. It isn't clear what that would offer that either snapshots or clones don't. It certainly wouldn't be safe: an alteration of the underlying VM by one of your (resumed) saved states would invalidate all the others.
