VirtualBox: How to Use Snapshots

In this video, we will be learning how to use snapshots within VirtualBox. Snapshots are great for saving a machine state and being able to revert back to a previous time. Let's get started.

The sequencing and the steam of thoughts are flowing nicely in your videos. The process of explaining feels smooth like silk. You put a lot of effort into it I guess, so thank you so much

Corey...I just >learned< that I was doing it all wrong! It all clicked after watching this I have to spend a few hours undoing my clumsy setup and implementing the learnings from your clip...but it'll be worth it. Thanks You!

Thanks for this informative video about VirtualBox Snapshots. I've used VirtualBox for several years, but had never looked at using this useful feature.

[hothpeter]

Thanks for the clear explanation. Saves me a lot of time and thanks for the great effort Corey !

[cwash]

Huge timesaver. When I see features like this, I never know what they are for or how they can be useful. Thanks for this.

[RGSmith-wodx]

Thank you for all the examples and descriptions. Four years later and this info is still germane.

[ranchocommodorereef]

Thank you very much for this video, it was very helpful, I lost my virtual machine due to a huge error I made and luckily, I learned from you to avoid such problems like that

[deepakcsjm]

Thank you so much Corey, I was looking for this amazing tutorial explaining ssh with virtualbox and really it helped me a lot saving my time. Keep adding new tutorials. Request you to demonstrate some automation with ansible please.

[nicozica]

Thanks for this great video!! My key takeaway: running machine snapshots do take a lot of more space. I'll try to avoid them from now on!

[thejedijohn]

Thank you. This explained everything I needed to know.

[vin]

Thank you very much for the tutorial. Very helpful and to the point.

[aliyaserramazani]

Great video, very clear. Thanks a lot

[kumanish]

thanks a lot for the very helpful and comprehensive video

[topoftech]

Thanks, I needed this so when viruses ruin my vm, I can revert back to the original state.

[paulafranginha]

Very useful video, thank You very much <3

Great video. What if you have several snapshots and you feel you are at a point to take a master snapshot. Can we delete older snapshots without effecting the final version?

[kevyelyod]

Thank you nan, you have made my day easier. When I have the cash I’ll send you on a few bucks.

[mirkogrcic]

Hello, you did not cover deleting of the snapshots and what it causes to the VM or other snapshots in the tree, since it takes time for deleting of a snapshot I believe there is some merging going on.

[nicktamm]

OH, thank you, thank you!
In retrospect this is a big DUH!

[prabhatranjan]

can I transfer this snapshot to other system and restore it from where it is?
