Your statement is correct AFAIK.
You must regress in steps to get to the first one.

Once again AFAIK your statement is again correct. I gave up on snap shots due to killing my VM a few times and only use it to hold a short term backup when I upgrade. If all works as it should I delete the snapshot. Backups are what I do now.
