no snapshot when Export to ESX

[jeey]

Hi,

I'm a poor newbie user of VM in general.
I have to work on a project on my notebook with a VM running under VirtualBox without any network connection to the IT. I use USB key to transfer to the target system on ESX.
I use snapshots when setting up my VM System.

I need to Export this VM on the ESX system of the business, but when it's set up on the ESX, the system is the "base" one without considering my snapshots.

Code: Select all

On VirtualBox
v1
 v1.1 (snapshot)
  v1.2 (snapshot)
   v1.3 (snapshot)

Export when v1.3 is up.

on ESX
v1

I found this topic on the French Ubutunu forums : http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=404940
Could someone help us ?

Thanks !

Jérémy

The "Export" feature clones the source hard drive, which has a side effect of merging all snapshots into one clone. Are you saying that you lost data, or just lost the snapshot structure? If you mean the latter then that is expected.
