It's playing clever tricks with snapshots.

Can someone from Sun please detail how this is currently achieved? I know this
isn't the new Live Migration feature being worked on, this is something
different and has appear in Sun blogs and now the VDI documentation without
similar documentation on the Virtual Box side explaining how do do it.

The documentation is all there, it mentions how to associate a snapshot with an existing VM. In the VDI context this is all pretty straightforward with the information on a separate storage server, but that's all ifs and buts in the generic context. There are lots of pitfalls, and having a generic description of the manual would add many pages of which most readers won't understand a word.
