That seems like a vbox default installation ip, I think what you can do is to mount the raw image and copy the files directly from there. 
depending on the block device you used : qemu-nbd , vfuse/vdfuse

if you don't have them on your system you can convert (via clone) and directly mount  "VBoxManage clonehd --format RAW input.vfi output.img " --didn't check the command
