> I don't understand how to do backups of virtual machines.  

If you'd like to make a full, backup, shutdown the virtual machine
(don't suspend it) and copy the .VDI(s).

If you're looking at making a differential backup, you'll need to run
differential backup software within the virtual machine.  Personally,
I prefer to make a full backup and use `snapshots' when I'm
installing/using sketchy software.
