My one problem with VMs [was RE: Finding W2K was Re: La Machine Est Morte, Vive La Machine!]

[Bill Troop billtroop@xxxxxxxx]

This is my one problem with VMware, and I think VBox behaves the
same. It very occasionally happens that my primary system (Win 8)
crashes. When it does, the VM session is completely lost. I have to
boot W2K fresh (admittedly this only takes a few seconds) and start
Xy4 again, having lost any unsaved data. Surely there must be a
technique of some kind for dealing with this - - setting up safe
points every 15 minutes or so, perhaps? I would be very grateful for any input.
