Greetings, Robin.

The use-case I am thinking of is a restore from backup if something
happens to my laptop.  Ideally, I will have Windows 7 in a VM and I
have multiple snapshots.  TimeMachine (TM) will make backups to a
rotating stock of external multi-TB drives.  If the laptop dies or
gets stolen, then I purchase a new laptop and restore using TM.
Everything will be restored as of the last TM backup, including the
Windows 7 VM and all its snapshots.

That is my current setup with Linux and BSD VMs.  But I am wondering
if that would work with Windows.  Are you able to take snapshots of
your Windows 7 VM and restore from them if something gets foobared?
As a bonus, can you clone new VMs from the snapshots to create
multiple instances of Windows 7 VMs?

Regards,
- Robert
