I'm not sure what "professional recommendations" means. This site is a user to user forum, with questions answered by volunteer users. If you want "professional" answers then you'll need to buy a support contract from Oracle.

My opinion: making a backup of a VM is easy, just copy the VM folder to secondary storage. To restore the VM you just copy it back. Howto: Move a VM.

In the view of disaster recovery Virtualbox is just another user application on your Linux system.
I don't know about any DR backup solutions specifically supporting Virtualbox.
You "just" would need to make sure that your full system backup contains all Virtualbox subdirectories and files in the users home folders.
