Restoring a snapshot when shutting down

Post by Captain B.O »

Okay please excuse my little rant.

I use VirtualBox to run old games on that don't support windowed mode. It had crashed on reset so I just pressed close to quit it. It gave me the options on what I want to do so I said to close, and saw the checkbox that said "restore previous snapshot" or something to that effect. I didn't know what that was so I checked it and clicked ok.... I start it up again and the whole thing is reset to before I installed any of my games.
Sure, you can say "oh well you should have known it would do that" but restoring to an old snapshot is basically deleting all your files so is a simple warning such a hard thing to do? What a crock .
