Persistent VMs are designed to boot from volumes (see [[ | Persistent VMs are designed to boot from volumes (see [[Working_with_volumes#Booting_from_a_volume| booting from a volume]]) thus creating a copy of the volume(s) the VM has attached to it will produce a backup. However this would not preserve things like VM flavor, public IP, and security rules. The best way to create a copy of a volume for backup purposes is to create an image from that volume. An image can be [[Working_with_images#Downloading_an_Image|downloaded]] and reused to create multiple new VMs, can be [[Working_with_images#Creating_a_VirtualBox_VM_from_a_Cloud_Image|accessed by VirtualBox]] on your desktop or laptop, and [[Working_with_images#Uploading_an_Image|uploaded]] to other clouds. | ||
