Virtual Machines running in the background

Post by oddbec »

Hi!

Is it possible to run virtual machines in the background (like vmware server)?
It would be nice if I was able to "disconnect" from a virtual host and come back to it later on.

If not, is this considered a feature in the future?

Yes, see section 7.4 of the user manual.
Also, see stickies and other posts in this forum about running VirtualBox VMs as a service under Windows.
