Recently I am using headless or sometimes visual virtualbox. If you want it
headless virtualbox is better. There are packages to download. I don't know
if and which work on jessie.
I do not think you need a backup if you install the packages. If it
installes well, you do not risk anything as the VM you create is isolated
from the OS. You will need a netinstall iso image to create the OS. It
works also straight forward.

There are good howtos around. I saw the suggestion to use chroot, which is
cheaper, but it might be that you get only older versions of ubuntu and
debian.
