If you do a full backup of the host, including all the KVM configuration and VM files together with the virtual disk files themselves, then a full restore should automagically take care of the virtual machines. They would not need to be backed up separately. You should also be able to restore their data by simply restoring just the virtual disk files, included in the full host backup. I don't do this myself, though, to back up my VirtualBox virtual machines, because my backup media isn't large enough to handle full host backups. Instead, I simply copy the virtual disk files individually to one of several external drives. This has worked to give me full backup on the VMs on the few occasions that I've needed it. -- Jim Kyle mailto: [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
