Is there a simple way to backup vmwarefusion & Windows? I browsed through the backup text however it seems totally beyond me.....Can I possibly use a Windows backup program to backup both the vmware & Windows such as Karen's replicator, retrospect, Iomega, xxclone or?????

thanks for any "simple" suggestions...

On Mac system your virtual machine is a bundle file Default path for the VM is /Users/User Name/Documents/Virtual machine/<Virtual Machine Name>.vmwarevm, .vmwarevm bundle file is your Virtual machine, you can simply copy this to external HDD or in Network folder

whenever you want to get your Old VM you can copy the VM to Mac system and run in VMware Fusion
