I have the same setup, I use Active backup for Business on my Synology to back up the system inside the VM, so it backs up like it is a real computer.  Works pretty well.. Only issue right now is ABfB does not work well with Linux machines, thus my Linux setups are using Veeam Free Agent to back up.. Works very well especially when you find issues, I just recently had a Linux Crash on my Mystic board, I was able to get the BBS running again from a backup the previous night in so I only lost about 6 hours of posts..
