that's currently my setup actually :) I currently copy my /home into a shared folder before restoring a snaphost, but it's not ideal. just wanted to see if there was a better way.

Oh--haha. I have never done this before, but why copy the contents? Does restoring the snapshot actually overwrite the contents of the folder on your host OS? If so, what happens when you disable Guest Additions before restoring the snapshot and then re-enabling them after?

hum no it does not overwrite my host files; but it does revert my /home disk so I sync it to a shared folder first, then restore and then sync back. I am just looking for a "lazier" way :)

Thanks for your help, but I will accept my own answer after I found out how to do what I wanted last night.
