I used to do that until I found out that the Veeam Backup Agent for linux was free and a stand-alone product. My Veeam setup does a daily bare metal backup, while my BackupPC setup does a daily backup of the everchanging smaller stuff in /etc/, /home and such. Stuff that I need to get back fast should the need arise. The folder containing my virtualbox disk images are however excluded for practical reasons. -- Kind regards, Sorin Srbu Find my OpenPGP public key here: https://cloud.srbu.se/index.php/s/KeEsCCDsG7PZG7N
