I moved a VM with snapshots and I now cant recover from snapshot
0
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.
