Do you know please help sir..

we have 33 vagrant box running on our physical machine. I need to take entire VM backup to our backup server.

I found this 

https://scotch.io/tutorials/how-to-create-a-vagrant-base-box-from-an-existing-one

Creating as package then copy it to remote location (vagrant package). But while doing vagrant package the box went down, is there is any option to take vagrant package with --no-reboot option.

For 100 GB box it took more than 2 hours to converting as package. we can't afford downtime :-)

One more question, I'm copying the current vmdk files & to remote folder, VM's is in running state, does it cause any data corruption for the box ? while syncing the data to remote location.

Simply my question is how we can take entire vm box backup without reboot box ? anybody knows the answer, please help ;-)
