Except for the fact that VM's suffer from corrupt hard drive file
problem. All your files are stored in a file, which is extremely
dangerous compared to having files stored as separate files. If one
little bit is f**ked in that hard drive disk image file, all your work
is lost, unless you can magically hack the file yourself into good shape
which is equivalent of trying to make a square become a circle :-)
Hello,
It is as dangerous as all your files are in a harddisk, if the harddisk
crashes ( physically ) you lost all your files.
It's almost impossible to corrupt a virtualbox disk image as its inner
working is too much simple. Even if a corruption happens its very easy
to convert to a dd raw image and mount it in your favorite OS. The only
corruption that will certainly ruin your VM disk is a page allocation
corruption, which is mostly as you overwrite the NTFs MFT and partition
table and/or your ext3/4 iNode table.
I'm using my VM's as real computers, so backups are usual but from
inside the VM (SVN for sources and backups for other files) not a
virtual disk image copy (VM must be stopped).
