The virtualbox syntax is:
VBoxManage snapshot <virtual-machine-name> restore <snapshot-name>
You should have of course sufficient authorization, and exposing that to a website requires some careful thoughts, probably more than just calling `system ("vboxmanage ... ") from a cgi. But it is possible.

Just two examples: 1) Your webserver runs for security reason under a userID that is not very powerful on the system (for exampleapache). The cgi-scripts also run under that userID. Are you seriously enabling that userID to mess with your virtual machine configuration? 2) Be very sure you sanitize your input. For example: you do not want someone to restore the machineabc'); rm-rf /var #.
