VMware Workstation pro 16.1
Hi Echantech
I have VMware Workstation 16.1 pro installed on my laptop and also saved the VMs (working directory) on C:, so that the virtual machines are backed up when I create an image of the system.
But now someone warned me that this would not work with True Image.
Is that true? Do you have any experience with it?
With the request for help and with best regards,
wisch

Hi Steve
Ok, then I'll do it that way, thank you very much!
It actually seems that TI is struggling with the already compressed VMs.
Best regards,

Wisch,
I can echo Steve's comments. I also store VM on locations that away from C:. I prefer to maintain a very lean OS installation therefore, I keep most data on disks other than C:.
Attempting to use TI to backup already compressed data will bog down the app as it attempts to further compress such data but rarely can and because compressed data is usually large in size this ends up being a slow futile process as it appears you have found out.

I take the same approach - VMs on a separate 1TB M.2 drive.
