Differential (differential) disks in virtualbox, is there such a thing?

Hello!
I want to deploy a test bench at home, with a gateway, dc, dhcp, windows and linux machines.
Since the SSD is 120GB, I want to save space.
Hyper-V has a "feature" differencing disk, it writes only the changes made and does not touch the base image. Is there such a feature in open source virtualbox ?
And what hypervisor for these purposes you will recommend?
Thanks in advance!

In Vbox it's called snapshots. After saving the snapshot, all changes will be saved in another image.

There are snapshots and differencing disks. Snapshots are created directly in the virtual machine options, and if you manually need to create a differencing disk that depends on a specific disk, then you can do this through VBoxManage.
