Actually the VirtualBox snapshot usage are quite vary. For me, I usually use
VirtualBox snapshots as an intermediary steps/milestones, since my VMs are
mostly for customer demos, deployment simulation, etc. Before changing any
configuration, I snapshot it first so whenever the new configuration failed I
just revert to a specific snapshot.
For your kind of purpose, I personally prefer to use ZFS features (snapshots &
clones). Let's say I have a base VM fully configured system, I could then
create two clones from it using ZFS. One for development environment, one for
testing environment, both running at the same time. Just an example.
Looking at Chris' requirement, I assume that he was trying to merge the VDI
snapshots into the VDI disk, please CMIIW.
