As explained in my message this "snapshot" functionality allows 
snapshotting live machines, keeping their state and RAM, allowing for a 
"live and running" VM to be suspended and restarted at a later time, 
maybe even on another physical machine.

I don't know the details, it is quite possible that to move to another 
physical machine some  extra requirements apply, like, for example, 
having the very same CPU model, or a very similar one.
