Can I "branch" VirtualBox snapshots (base multiple VM on the same disk image + separate diffs)?

Can I "branch" VirtualBox snapshots (base multiple VM on the same disk image + separate diffs)? I keep multiple VirtualBoxes for different projects. They are all running the same Debian base system. Keeping complete copies of all the disk images is getting expensive.

As of VirtualBox 3.1, this is possible. See http://www.virtualboxdotorg/wiki/Changelog-3.1; the branched snapshot capability is listed near the bottom of the page, under "VirtualBox 3.1.0".

Yes this is possible but keep in mind that VM's need to be Unique. you will need to make new SID's for the new branch.
