ok, I'm half way into the backup and I see that the content of
.VirtualBox/Machines is backed up so something I'm doing wrong, see:
NCC-5001-D ncc-5001-d_home # find new/f%2fhome/fuser/f.VirtualBox/fMachines
new/f%2fhome/fuser/f.VirtualBox/fMachines
new/f%2fhome/fuser/f.VirtualBox/fMachines/fWindows
new/f%2fhome/fuser/f.VirtualBox/fMachines/fWindows/fLogs
new/f%2fhome/fuser/f.VirtualBox/fMachines/fWindows/fLogs/fVBox.log
new/f%2fhome/fuser/f.VirtualBox/fMachines/fWindows/fLogs/fVBox.log.2
new/f%2fhome/fuser/f.VirtualBox/fMachines/fWindows/fLogs/fVBox.log.1
new/f%2fhome/fuser/f.VirtualBox/fMachines/fWindows/fLogs/attrib
new/f%2fhome/fuser/f.VirtualBox/fMachines/fWindows/fLogs/fVBox.log.3
new/f%2fhome/fuser/f.VirtualBox/fMachines/fWindows/fSnapshots
new/f%2fhome/fuser/f.VirtualBox/fMachines/fWindows/fWindows-flat.vmdk
any hints?
Thanks.
