Description Jakub Steiner 2016-03-30 12:47:56 UTC 
One of the proposed [1] use cases for snapshotting was creating a duplicate box. This is useful for forking an OS image to

- upgrade to a new release of an OS, while keeping the old one intact (testing on multiple versions of the OS)
- comparing a running app under two versions of the OS or different environments.
