When powering off a machine abruptly with the last option on a VM's menu 
"Machine", the little popup window "Close Virtual Machine" has three 
options:

Save the machine state
Send the shutdown signal
Power off the machine

And this last option has a sub-option to "Restore current snapshot 'Snapshot 
1'"


What is the idea exactly behind this sub-option as in when would be the 
right time to use it?  So far as I understand it, it seems to me that it 
would have exactly the same effect as if I were to take these steps instead:

1.  choose the third option above without selecting the sub-option
2.  when the machine was stopped and completely off, selecting to restore 
the Snapshot 1.

Does that sound right. I'm asking because I have one machine that is 
misbehaving and BMB (busting my ...!), and now I am down to the wire in 
troubleshooting it, having deleted all back to the last available snapshot. 
If this fails, I will need to reinstall, which I hope to avoid; and I would 
like to think that I have taken the proper rigorous steps in doing so. 
Thanks.

John
