Instead of running Gentoo with VirtualBox and backing up the image, I'd
recommend storing your configurations in a git repo and using ansible[1]
or salt[2] to deploy them when you need to.
Also, if you ever expand to more than 1 server, these tools make even
more sense. I use salt for my personal setup, which is 1 server and 1
laptop (I have 2-3 more servers that I need to get set up someday...),
but salt is simpler and no less powerful.
Hope this helps,
Alec
