Think of the virtual machine being exactly like a real physical machine.
It has networking interfaces, it can map network drives, and so on.
So the mirror of your backup can go to the NAS drive as before.
Windows and your apps don't even 'know' they are running on a virtual
machine.
As more files, such as the backups in your MYOB\data directory, are
created, the files inside the virtual machine folder simply grow in size.
The virtual file system is a real file system itself.
If you so choose, you can even backup the entire folder that constitutes
the virtual machine. This has the advantage that should the physical
machine on which it is running one day have a failure, you can be up
and going again with your entire virtual machine running on a different
physical computer.
