Hi *,

as far as I can see it isn't possible to merge snapshots back into
disk images.  This is a real problem as (afaik) it isn't possible to
clone disk images including snapshots: `VBoxManage clonevdi' only clones
the base image.

I managed to clone an disk image including snapshot with some amount of
manual work, but this seems not the right thing to do[tm] as thereby the
IDs of the disk image and snapshots are not changed and so the result
can not be used in the same VBox environment.

Am I missing something?  If not, are there plans to make merging (or at
least cloning) of snapshots possible?

The current situation IMO seriously limits the usefulness of snapshots.

cheers
sascha
