vmware - script automatic backups

Thread needs solution

I run VMWare Workstation 6.5 on WinXP.

How can I script a way to automatically clone my VM images?

I've read about the "vmware-cmd" tool but believe that is only available with VMWare ESX, not Workstation.

Emma, welcome to these Acronis User Forums.

Sorry, but I cannot help with any questions related to VMWare Workstation image cloning.

If you have an Acronis True Image product installed on your Windows XP computer, then you could create a scheduled backup task to backup your VMWare image folders to an external disk drive but this is not something that I have every tried doing.
