You are already able to recreate any older instance of a box and it will work perfectly, including networking and shared folders via NFS - just not with the VirtualBox Guest Additions or if you have the vbguest plugin installed. Perhaps I should mention I don't use the GA myself - I never saw them being worth the trouble, except for improved video performance on desktop installations. Maybe it just doesn't fit my use case, as they seem to be quite popular with other users. Best regards, Laurențiu
