How to automatically backup a running VMWARE Workstastion virtual machine?

[zejulio]

Hello,

I need a way to automatically backup a running vmware workstation virtual machine, is it possible?

The best way I found to do this is to stop the machine, create a snapshot, start the machine, and then close that snapshot to other place, so this way the downtime of the machine is the lowest possible...

Is there a way to make this automatic or at least simpler?

Thanks,

JS

As your post needs moving to the area for Workstation Pro, I have reported it to the moderators.

Sorry, I've missed that, you can close it and I post a new one on the correct place.

I've checked it's on the correct place. thanks!
