I have not used VirtualBox but when I used an alternate virtualization solution I never closed the LiveCD guest system. If I had to shutdown the physical or host system I would first suspend/hibernate the guest system. Then after shutdown and restart of the host (real) system I would resume the guest and the state of my guest was as it was before I had suspended it.
