UTM VM's not backed up by Time Machine #6474

Description

Describe the issue
I rely on Apple's built-in Time Machine for my backups and recently noticed due to a VM corruption that I was not able to recover the VM from the backups. Instead of having a recent backup, I only had the backup of the initial VM setup. In fact, when running a VM in UTM and closing it, UTM does not modify the time stamp and therefore Time machine does not backup the changed VM.

This happens for VM's stored in the default location and for VM's moved in a custom location.

Configuration

  • UTM Version: 4.5.3
  • macOS Version: macOS Sonoma 14.5
  • Mac Chip (Intel, M1, ...): Apple Silicon M1
