I would use the virtual drive on physical hosts running the VMs. I envision this flow: I provide a Linux VM with two virtual drives to a client. One drive is a boot disk and the other drive contains a single partition mounted as /usr/local. That's where the client should keep his work. Later, I create a new Linux VM with just its boot drive and give it to the client. He unmounts drive 2 from the original VM and remounts it on the new VM, thus saving his work and transferring it to the new machine--much as is done when getting a new physical Linux desktop machine. Thanks for the reply, John.
