In 1 of the previous posts, I had indicated that its difficult to resize the VM hard disk that was created during VM creation. My friend pointed me to few links on how to do this. It turned out be pretty straightforward.
Also, I learnt that when we try different applications and different configurations in the VM, its very easy for the VM OS to be screwed up and it is necessary to either take snapshots, backups, clones and restore them to be on the safe side.
In this blog, I will try to cover some of the common tasks that we would need from VM management perspective like VM backup and restore, resizing VM hard disk. I will say this in the context of Virtualbox, lot of these would apply to other VM hosting software like VMware player, etc. Also, I will cover some things that I have learnt in Virtual box along the way..
