The only method I know is treating it as I would on a real computer. You 
can add hard disks to it, boot from live CDs, copy from one HD to another 
(or to a network share on the host)... Using a live, you can "dd" it.

There should be a method to mount the virtual HDs on the host directly, 
when the VM is not running. Maybe there is. I know how to read from them, 
but not writing.

Same for resizing... maybe there is a method, but I dunno.
