Just to add to the good advice from @torreydale ,,
I now create a separate /vbox partition, keep the VM's seperate.
That way you have more control over backups, backup just /home or just /vbox or both.
I find it helps keep backups tidy, smaller and quicker
One of the main things with Virtualbox that gets forgotten, are the extras that are needed
- virtualbox extension pack, this is in the virtualbox application itself
- virtualbox guest additions, this is added into the guest
Plenty of help available when you get to do this
