Nonstop backup of VirtualBox guest.

Thread needs solution

Will Acronis True Image Home backup an active VirtualBox guest (VDI file) hosted on Windows 7 Ultimate?

Please understand that I'm not asking about running Acronis in the VirtualBox guest OS; I'm asking about running Acronis on the host and backing up the guest's VDI file while the guest OS is active.
Thanks.

Steve S,

It should. You have to try to make sure. I wouldn't use an Acronis file backup (regular or NSB) to backup the files of a virtual machine. The virtual disks files are changing everytime you use the VM. You should be OK with a partition backup (regular or NSB).
If your VM disks are large, the changes might saturate NSB.
