I have been able use Vmware Consolidated Backup to create a full copy of a VM 
using the vcbMounter command. When i do this the VM is copied to a folder on my 
backup server and I can then back this VM up.
   
  I know that I can use the savepnpc command to call a script but how do i 
integrate this process into a script? Which VCB commands do I need to use in 
the script?
   
  Should I be using the vcbMounter command  or should i be using the 
vcbSnapshot command?
   
  Which command should i use to cleanup the copy of the VM once the backup has 
completed?
   
  If possible could someone send me a copy of the contents of a script that 
they use when VCB backups are implemented for full VM backups?
   
  Thanks, Mark
