!!! VirtualBox 4.1.2 I started looking at VirtualBox again, to assess it as a feasible low-cost virtualization solution.\\ I have been running my (2) servers on older laptops running in a closet at home. The laptops runs Ubuntu 8.04 (LTS) with an [OpenVZ|http://openvz.org] kernel. Since this is getting rather old now (almost 4 years), and every now and then you want to have something new (the only difference between a man and a box is the price of his toy) and I had some (not disclosed) issues with backups, I thought let's see if VirtualBox is any good here. !! My wishlist/requirements. __1) - (recent) Ubuntu Guest OS__ I first had a look at the [http://openvz.org] site, but concluded that running a recent Ubuntu server is not a "default route".\\ Since my hardware also __2) - Easy Full Server Backup (off site)__ vbox clonehd ? __3) - Easy re-sizing of disk images__ vbox modifyhd resize ?... __4) - Remote console access__ vrde stuff with extension packs.... __5) - No Graphical (X) server required__ VBoxHeadless... __6) - Capable of running 5 guests__ 2 is minimal required... __7) - Misc management capabilites__ stats , NATing, live migration ? __8) - No dependency on hardware virtualization capabilities__ !!
