I thought there was a way to access the vmx image directly from linux, 
but I don't know if it has to be mounted or if you can see a raw 
partition.  I was hoping I could make a virtual partition visible on 
physical backuppc server so I could sync it as a raid1, then remove it 
and have something that could be used in a virtual machine or copied via 
rsync, then used by a remote virtual machine.
