vbox_clone_one_or_more_snapshots

have you ever wanna copy one or more snapshots of vbox into a new vm machine? following is an example of how-to.

experiment environment

considering following cases:

• you have host1, logically or actually named MyWorkHost and having IP as 192.168.1.10
• you have host2, logically or actually named MyNewWorkHost and having IP as 192.168.1.30
• you have vbox installed in host1, and a linux guest installed in the box named UbuntuFromDengpan, and the snapshots looks like following:
  
  
• you have vbox installed in host2, better with higher version.

select the snapshot you wanna copy and place mouse on the button tagged as "clone"

in my example, I selected a snapshot named "UpdatedV8":

specify new vm machine's name

in my example, I specified "Ubuntu14_64Bit":

specify clone type

in our example, we want the clone to be portable, so select full clone:

specify need snapshot tree or not

in my example, I don't need the tree view, that is, I don't need all previous nodes/states/snapshots, so select "Current machine state":

wait and check the result

at last, we have a new vm machine, in my example, it have no previous snapshots, only a "Current State" like following:

copy UbuntuUbuntu14_64Bit.vbox and UbuntuUbuntu14_64Bit.vdi to \\192.168.1.30\UbuntuUbuntu14_64Bit

on copied, edit shared folder settings to make the new machine can find the shared folder; after that, power on the new machine and it will be okay on host2.
