Hey List, It would seem I misinterpreted the meaning of the snapshot functionality and learnt the hard way. I though that a snapshot is as you would expect a snapshot of the running state of the machine (which it is). Over time I made various snapshots thinking they were backups so if I did something horrible next week I could roll back to a snapshot, which is correct. However after building up quite a list of snapshots I thought I aught to delete some of the snapshots in the list however it turns after making a snapshot that is what you are actually running and so rolled my VM and all its data back a month. Luckily I restored the missing data from a back which resides off of the VM.
>From now on I will use the clonehd tool and every week to export the VM hard disk. I hope this proves useful to someone. If anyone has any thoughts or pointers they would like to share about my experience I'm all ears. Thanks for your time. -- Regards, James ;) Pablo Picasso - "Computers are useless.
