<div dir="ltr">The solutions i have looked into for backing up VM's would be reliant on VM snapshots then saving those files from the snapshot. I know there are some tools out there that might automate this process. I cannot remember if zamanda will do this or not. (a quick search on the their site they do seem to have tools for this)<br>

<br>
I run Linux Mint 14 with the Cinnamon Desktop Manager, and
back-up my system using the KDE utility KBackup. It is a great
little app! I've started to Virtualize several operating systems
e.g. MS$ 7, Whonix-Gateway, and Whonix-Desktop. I am using
Oracle's VM VMWare to do this. In the future I might want to
Virtualize Backtrack. I did have a dual-boot Mint / Backtrack
system going, but then wiped the drive, and started to look at
Virtualization. <br>
<br>
Each one of these Virtual Machines has it own Folder, which can
be found in the Folder named VirtualBox VMs. Is backing these
machines up going to be as simple as checking a box when I run
KBackup, and save the Folder VirtualBox VMs? <br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for any comments. Apologizes also, if this is
in fact, a "no-brainer". LOL!<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
