So, apologies if this is the wrong thread.

I'm trying out Comodo Backup and also trying to learn some useful stuff like batch files. I have a virtual machine running on this computer that I'd like to backup after Comodo is finished backing up other things like my documents. If I used Comodo's "run task after backup" setting to run the following as a .bat, would it work? Is there a better way to backup the virtual machine?

code:

@echo off
title VM Backup
vboxmanage controlvm "Windows Server" poweroff
cd /D A:
copy "\Virtualbox VMs\windowsserver.vhd" "B:\VHD Backups\"
cd /D B:
ren "B:\VHD Backups\windowsserver.vhd" %DATE%.vhd
vboxmanage startvm "Windows Server" --type headless
