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)

Hi All,

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.

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?

Thanks in advance for any comments. Apologizes also, if this is in fact, a "no-brainer". LOL!

John
