Oh , I just notice it. I think my question is will I lose the changes on a
VDI if I rollback to a previous snapshot without making a snapshot on it
first.

Say I am making changes on VDI 3. Then I rollback it to snapshot 1. Because
I don't snapshot the changes on VDI 3 yet before rollback happens, I will
lose all the changes, right? Or is there anyway to "redo" it?
