I have a Windows 8 host and have created a Windows 7 guest on Virtual Box 4.3.6 r91406.

Could someone tell me how I can make a full back up of the Windows 7 guest so that I can keep a copy for backup purposes on another computer.

Thank you

With your VM shut down, copy the VM folder (typically "<YourUsername>\VirtualBox VMs\<YourVM>") and your VirtualBox settings (typically "<YourUsername>\.VirtualBox"). For more specialized scenarios (backup while the VM is running) search for "backup site:forums.virtualbox.org").

There's no need to copy the .VirtualBox folder contents. It contains nothing specific to any VM - just GUI manager preferences.
