I moved a Virtual Machine and it's files to another pc (moved, not cloned), and now I can't recover from snapshots.
I have all the files (of the VM) but no snapshots shown in the program.
I need to recover from the latest snapshot, what can I do?

If you have snapshot files, even if not displayed in the gui, open a terminal and hit the following on command line
VBoxManage snapshot <path/to/'including space'/VMname.vbox> list
This return a list of snapshot available for the VM. The following will restore the VM to a snapshot.
VBoxManage snapshot <path/to/'including space'/VMname.vbox> restore <SnapshotName>
Remember to work while the VM is not running.

Thanks for your help, but I cant make it work. My path to VM its named: "F:\VDIs\DAW Emilio", what can I do with that space to make command line work? I did try with %20 and with "<F:\VDIs\DAW Emilio>". I did use "/" insted of "\". Thanks in advance– CHRCommented Jan 8, 2019 at 16:33

I did hit "VBoxManage snapshot F:\VDIs\'DAW Emilio'\DAW Emilio.vbox list" and console displays: "Could not find a registered machine named 'F:\VDIs\'DAW'", so the space isnt working– CHRCommented Jan 8, 2019 at 16:46

I cant drag and drop, It likes selects where I click insted of dragging it. What I did now its: VBoxManage snapshot "F:\VDIs\DAW Emilio\DAW Emilio.vbox" list ; and the cmd says: Could not find a registered machine named 'F:\VDIs\DAW Emilio\DAW Emilio.vbox'– CHRCommented Jan 8, 2019 at 16:51
