Hello,
Using VMware VDR, vRangerPro, or other tools yes.
If the VM is powered off you can use VMware Converter or even workstation 7 to export the VM from the host.
Or you can if the VM is running and you have vCenter, hot clone the VM then power off the clone and make a backup using one of the tools mentioned. Converter is free btw.
Best regards,
