Description

Hello dear support team. My snapshots restore files on Writetrough Disk. Here my thread on forum https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=106742

I use two VDI on my VM. First VDI: Normal type. Created for system using (OS, applications, system configuration). I want to take snapshots only from Normal disk type. Second VDI: Write-through type. Created for file storage. I don't want to take snapshot from Write-through disk. But files are restored on Write-through disk... I do not understand anything. Please check me step by step. I will try to be as detailed as possible.

  1. I created new VM with new VDI (Normal type for system using). Capacity 30GB. Screenshot https://www.dropbox.com/s/gy764nib8kljrdc/Screenshot_8.png?dl=0
  2. I created new VDI (Write-through type for file storage). Capacity 50GB. https://www.dropbox.com/s/2g2cfr621yuqo93/Screenshot_12.png?dl=0

Now it will be interesting

  2. Take snapshot https://www.dropbox.com/s/ce1x0r39d34ebfy/Screenshot_25.png?dl=0
  3. Test folders deleted using SHIFT+DEL https://www.dropbox.com/s/icjf5t3wyjmz4qh/Screenshot_28.png?dl=0
  4. Shutting down VM and restore Test 1 snapshot https://www.dropbox.com/s/orv5cr5ijt29v65/Screenshot_31.png?dl=0

I expect to restore test folder on only drive C:\ (Normal type)

  1. Why test folder restored on Write-trough disk (E:\)? https://www.dropbox.com/s/edqmh7ojn7ngmbx/Screenshot_33.png?dl=0
