How to go back to a snapshot in VirtualBox

snapshotvirtualbox

I've made three snapshots on VirtualBox virtual machine (winxp).

I want to go back to Snapshot 2.

  • If I click on "Snapshot 2" and click Start, it goes back to the current state.
  • I can click on "Current State" and "revert to current snapshot" (unclear: what is the "current snapshot", since I have 3 snapshots), but after it is finished, I can't discern what it did exactly and when I click start, it returns to the current state.

How do I go back to Snapshot 2?

Simply click on the snapshot you want to go back to, then click the "Restore" icon:

Note that your current state will be discarded when you restore a snapshot.

All further snapshots from the restored one will be conserved and you will simply start a new branch of snapshots starting from the restored one.
