Backup VDI
Posted: 29. Nov 2013, 15:54
Hello comunity
I have read many things about creating backup of my virtualbox machine VDI file.
But, i don´t find explicitely what the best solution.
I found this solution, with virtual machine state power off:
1- exporting appliance
2-using vbmanage with clonehd on command line
3-Freeware software to create a clone of my virtual machine
and so on...
What i need to know is what the best and secure solution to backup my virtual machine to restore on same computer (like clone), or to restore to diferent machine with dissimliar hardware.
Also, i don´t know if exist any software to backup my virtualbox machine like i say, on same machine or dissimilar hardware on other PC or Laptop.
I hoe someone could give me the best practices to do that.
Many thanks
