Re: help!HOW DO I LOAD THE Snapshots
The entire VM folder is important, not just the hard disk image files. If you have a backup of the entire VM folder then simply copy that folder to its working position and then double click the .vbox file.
- Do NOT restore the VirtualBox.xml file from the backup - let the new VBox install create a new (blank) one.
- Do restore the "VirtualBox VMs" folder.

Add each VM back one at a time as described in the first paragraph. Doing it this way ensures that any minor path changes do not cause failures.

Thanks for your help!,Let me try.
