Think of virtual machines like a removable hard drive. The virtualizer (Virtualbox) is the ¨virtual pc¨. Your virtual machine the "removable hard drive" but in a file (vhd). In other words, what I´m tryign to say is that updating the virtualbox version should NOT imply any change of configuration in the virtualized software. It´s just running on an improved version of the ¨pc¨ (virtual environment) you configured when you created the VM. If you want to be extra safe, just export your VM to an ¨appliance¨ file (OVA) format. It will include not only the contents of the virtual hard disk (vhd file) but also the settings you used when creating such VM in virtualbox. As usual, after updating your virtualbox host, you should also update the Guest Additions in the VM to match the host version... Hope this helps!
