I'm happily using backupPC to backup a number of machine within our home 
network, I'm wondering what will happen if I use it to backup the file on the 
host machine that is the virtual disc for a number of virtual box VM, will it 
have to backup the whole file each run (they are rather large) or is it capable 
of only copying those bits of the file that have changed ?

Basically I'm after suggestions of 'best practice' in this situation

Thanks

John
