You might want to look at VirtualBox from Sun Microsystems. It's FREE, well supported, frequently updated, runs XP and Linux very nicely. I've played with VMWare and Parallels on client Macs, and prefer VirtualBox.

As for SD copying the virtual image, as Dave said DON'T be running the virtual machine while the copy is in progress. Other than that, the virtual image is "just another file" and copying and restoring it has no effect on the contents... like most Mac things, it just works.
