![]() Obviously if you run a bigger operation this may not be convenient. All their users are local to my time zone and most of them sleep at night so I can afford a bit of downtime. I’m running two vm’s on my server at home. stability: the virtual machine’s state will always be consistent since the machine must be taken offline to export it.portability: any computer running VirtualBox will allow you to import and run the exported machine (you can’t run 64bit machines on 32bit hardware though).easy of use: you can restore the complete vm including all its settings by just importing the ovm file.The killer features for export based backups are obvious: VirtualBox’s snapshotting system has a nasty habit of refusing to restore or delete individual shapshots – VBox’s snapshotting has not fully matured yet.it is more difficult to reassemble a non-exported virtual machine.continuity: you can snapshot a running vm.speed: snapshotting a vm is a matter of seconds.I’ve seen scripts that will take a snapshot and then copy the ‘raw’ vm over to a backup disk. Note: a new version of this script is available here. Here’s a script that will loop through the virtual machines in VirtualBox and exports them. ![]() ![]() Actie active directory ad AI aliens backup biotech clamav complete connect culture debian detective Dovecot fail2ban fantasy humor klassieke scifi kunstmatige intelligentie maatschappijkritiek mail military scifi mysql openvpn owncloud pfsense politiek Postfix posthumanisme robots Roundcube Scifi server space opera Spamassassin stretch technothriller Thunderbird transhumanisme twitter ubuntu virtualbox vpn wheezy windows Categories
