60GB disk, various snapshot sizes of one-week intervals.  The 60GB image 
was the original P2V footprint from an original server.

Your mileage may vary, but I can't stress enough my recommendation that 
you test your snapshot/consolidation paradigm prior to deploying it as a 
strategy in a production environment.  Read the VirtualBox forums on 
snapshots - a lot of folks won't use them at all in a production 
environment.
