Dated copies of Virtualbox machine data, nothing uploaded.
Virtualbox is a desktop helper. A desktop helper that finds Virtualbox machine directories and archives snapshot files locally.
Virtualbox drops machine files next to launcher caches.
Point it at a path, preview the plan if you want, then write the result next to the source or to --out.
Use the command-line copy in this repository if you already have Python.
If you want a normal installer for Windows or macOS, open the setup page and follow the steps there.
- Finds the Virtualbox machine directory.
- Copies snapshot files to a dated archive.
- Lists photo and export folders.
- Writes a short report of what was kept.
People search Virtualbox desktop and PC when they want the folder on disk.
A named helper is easier to find than a generic zip.
- Windows 10 or 11 for the desktop build
- Python 3.11 or newer only if you run the CLI from this repository
- Runs locally on the PC that starts it; no account required for the CLI
Python 3.11 or newer. From the repository root:
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py --help--preview prints the plan and does not write. --out sets an output folder when the command supports it.
