'Virtualbox Guest Additions' have been installed on the virtual machine. This means that host drives may be mounted by the virtual machine. If you are running Windows, to mount drive C try

• (virtualbox) - devices - shared folders - shared folders settings...
• Highlight 'Machine Folders' and click add folder
• enter 'c:\' with 'auto-mount' and 'make permanent'.
• reboot the virtual machine
• try 'ls /media/cf_C_DRIVE/'

It may be easier to export data by inserting a USB key or to scp to another machine.
