Is it wise to do a appliance kopie everytime you make channge or a big change?

Same as with backups, but VBox also has a snapshot option.

Yes,Is the appliance a compressed kopie how much is included?Is the .vdi files included?

A VDI is not compressed, look at the VM/vdi stats to see how big they are.

Aha, no idea if thats compressed, never used it. But as a backup it can't do any harm using it that way.
