My first post, this. Setup is as per signature, below.

The VM works well, and has been exhaustively updated. It's virtual HD passed the Windows command line, as did the Bootcamp partition.

I have read the documentation for Virtual Box.
I have searched here.
I know how to, and have already performed a, back up of the Bootcamp partition using Winclone 3.7.

What I don't know how to do, and want to do, is back up the virtual machine. I must be bad at searching, because I can't imagine I'm the only one who wants to do this. I know this sort of set up is not rare, because there is a tutorial in these forums about it (Win7 guest on OS X host, guest VM built on Bootcamp installation).

I'm getting an error when I try to use VirtualBox>File>Export -- and I'm not even sure that's the right way to back up.

Suggestions welcome.

To backup the machine, simply copy the Virtual Machine folder to the backup location, when the VM is powered off completely.
Simple as that.

Excellent.

Thank you so much.

Thanks!
