We talking about vmware - I can't beliew that Your virtual machine
haven't enought power to process incremental file backup. More - on
all well know operating system, not only windows.

Can You describe me structure of windows machine? Lots of files? Lots
of directories? Hi load of machine?

I'm not windows administrator, so my exp. in windowed enviroment is
poor, but I know about bare machine restore - tsm fully suport that,
instalation disc (windows) too, etc. Maybe restiring using this method
is weak (from tsm instructor) but I'm not expert - can You confirm
this?
