Questions about the snapshot feature of VirtualBox 3.1

[xavi345]

Hi friends,

Firstly I'd like to say that I'm very happy when noticing that the snapshot feature has been significantly improved in the latest release of VirtualBox (3.1). And I just have 2 questions. Suppose I have the following snapshot tree:

ss1
|---ss2
|-----|---ss4
|-----------|---ss5
|------------------|---cs
|---ss3

where ssi stands for snapshot i, and cs stands for currentState.

My questions are:

1. Is the above tree possible?

2. If I move from cs to ss2, will ss5 be lost?

Thanks in advance!

Good questions. I tried practically what you are asking. Check my site http://virtualization.sysprobs.com/bran ... virtualbox. I'm sure it will clear your doubt.

Hi dineshj,

Thank you very much for your detailed and useful post.

Yes, it does answer all of my above questions.

And I can happily say that, with these new improvements, virtualBox is now as powerful as VMware. Thank you for this awesome software.
