If anyone is interested, this my backup script:
http://www.docum.org/staf/scripts/vmware.pl

I'm not a vmware specialst, only the guy who has to backup the images.
It's working fine for me.
Only 1 parameter has to be changed: directory used to export the images.
For more info, check the script itself and/or mail me.

I changed the script on my laptop and added extra info so I hope I didn't
corrupted it.
