Re: [Networker] Full Virtual Machine backup using VCB script...

You're pretty close to doing things the way we do it.
This is what we do in a script that we call with savepnpc
1) get a list of all the instances we want to back up
2) for each of the instances do the following
use vcbMounter to create a snapshot
use save to back up the snapshot
release the snapshot
rinse, lather, repeat until done
Hope this helps.
