Description
I have a MacBook Pro running VirtualBox 6.1.32 with a Windows 10 VM. If I try to use Time Machine to back up the 'VirtualBox VMs' directory, Time Machine hangs after transferring a trivial amount of data. The backup drive is an external drive mounted on a networked 2021 Mac mini M1 machine. If I exclude the directory from the backup list, the backup proceeds normally. Specifically, the .vdi file must be excluded for the backup to work.
Both Macs are running MacOS 12.2.1. Backup disk drive is formatted using APFS to be 3 Volumes within one Container.
