Backing up? Simply a matter of shutting down the virtual machine and
copying a folder. And technically I think I could do a snapshot, but
I'm still not as comfortable with that particular task.
Better to do a file backup using the tar in the Linux instance ... by
backing up the VMWare instance you are backing up any possible
corruption that might have occurred. If the vmware instance gets
corrupted enough, the entire machine is toast. Yes, you can restore
from a backup instance, but you are restoring the corruption as well.
If you backup the files inside of Linux, then a corrupted file is just
that, a corrupted file. Fairly easy to recover.
