Hi Berny, Thanks for your advice.
I learned a bitter lesson before. Although I fixed the problem finally it took me several days. Therefore this time I must work carefully. Otherwise I prefer running the existing version. > So you don't have a backup strategy, have you? No. I only backup the data, important configure files and the source .vdi. In case of the failure of HD which fortunately it didn't happen I just reclone the VMs on the source .vdi, and copy the data and config files on them. B.R.

I never did that when upgrading VBox (on Windows host), I even didn't uninstall the old version, I just installed the new one.
