The --merge option says

Can I reliably take a snapshot of the origin whilst a merge of an old snapshot into the origin is in progress

# config vars

I have Ubuntu 12.04 and VirtualBox 4.1.12. All manuals and help documents refer to Snapshot tab in top right corner of Virtualbox manager. But I have no idea where can I find it. Screenshot is attached. Does anybody know anyting about how can I get acces to Snapshot manager tab? (Take a snapshot I can when machine is running).

Our mysql ibdata1 file was deleted earlier today. This wasn't noticed until mysqld was restarted and there was no data in the tables. The machine is a CentOs VM in Xenserver. At this point a snapshot was taken. Then the mysql database was dropped and restored from a backup.

We've been using Win2008R2's AD Snapshot feature to perform a nightly backup of our AD domain. I'm trying to figure out the steps that I need to run through to use one of these nightly backups to restore our AD domain on a 2nd server.

These are the commands we used to backup the AD DOM:
