I would suggest that to make it truly portable the VMDK needs to contain just the basic Linux OS, LMS and its preferences and have the music folder elsewhere but connected via NFS or Samba. I agree that the music folder needs to be backed up separately in any one of a number of ways that you suggest (and others). Portability is a key thing in a Pi based LMS. Provided you use the same NFS / SMB mount then a rebuild is dead easy and takes 5 minutes if you have had the foresight to create a backup of the SD card somehwere. Returning to the original issue it ought to be possible to share the files on Windows via SMB over the network via UNC IP map. A direct connection to the disc is going to present privilege issues I would think.
