Hi<br />
<br />
I want to backup my Windows 10 machine (which has VirtualBox installed and has a VM also running Windows 10)<br />
How do I back the entire system up so that it includes the VM?<br />
<br />
I want to back it up on a hard drive.<br />
<br />

Hi

I want to backup my Windows 10 machine (which has VirtualBox installed and has a VM also running Windows 10)
How do I back the entire system up so that it includes the VM?

I want to back it up on a hard drive.

Windows 10 Backup with VM

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
