I was searching for the best way to implement vmware-cmd to snapshot live VMs and then rsync them to another location of my choice and look what I found!
There is a free script called ghettoVCB.sh that does the trick.
The script allows you to backup live virtual machines and also maintains only a selected number of snapshots that you would like to keep. Check it out!
