Thank you Perryg for the replay, but it is not working actually, i need to do Teleporting in VirtualBox if you know about Teleporting of VMs along with snapshot moving to another host please share your knowledge.

Nope, don't use it. That said I really don't think the snapshots will teleport, but I never use them either, way to easy to mess up the guest and kill the whole thing.
Can I assume that you have read the users manual on this?
