During my OSCP course times I've break system and took my time to recover. After I search Google, I couldn't find any good tool that automates this process so here is a simple tool that will help you to not lose your VirtualBox states and save your time.

Daily Snapshot Automation for VirtualBox

This PowerShell script automates the creation of daily backups for a VirtualBox VM, removing older snapshots to conserve space, and ensuring that only snapshots with the name format "DailyBackup_" are deleted if they are older than 2 days.

Requirements

  • Windows operating system
  • VirtualBox installed
  • PowerShell

Usage

  1. Download or clone the repository to your Windows Desktop.
  2. Edit the DailySnapshot.ps1 file:
    • Replace $VMName with your virtual machine's name.
    • Update $VBoxManagePath with the correct path to VBoxManage.exe if it's different on your system.
  3. Run the script: 
    .\DailySnapshot.ps1

If you want to schedule the script to run daily, follow these steps:

  1. Open Task Scheduler.
  2. Import the DailySnap.xml file included in the repository:
    • Right-click on "Task Scheduler Library" and select "Import Task..."
    • Browse to the location of the DailySnap.xml file and select it.
    • Click "Open" to import the task.
