I'd just want to be sure that the image being backed up (Assuming its
one big file on the host OS representing the filesystem(s) of the guest
OS) actually creates a consistent image that really _can_ be restored
and used. That either means shutting down your VM whilst the backup
happens or something really nifty and transactional, and I don't know if
thats supported in MS VMs?

Either way, it's probably better to test this is the case before, rather
than after, needing to restore the backup :P
