Hello, It seems the box was exported, and you were able to import it.
So, the expectation here is that the snapshots are going to be included in the exported box? Vagrant uses standard features from Virtualbox, if they only export by default a copy of the running machine, then I am not sure how Vagrant can help. Can you please explain a bit more? Thanks Alvaro.
