Backup a VirtualBox VM

I just installed FreeBSD 8.2 in VirtualBox 3.2.10_OSE under CrunchBang linux. After getting everything configured in terms of guest additions, and display setup I wanted to take a snapshot. Turns out there's a nifty one step command to facilitate this process that I found on here. Simply run

VBoxManage clonevdi ~/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/image.vdi ~/image_Backup.vdi

That's all there is to it! Easy as pi.
