How to Back-Up Virtual Devices in Vmware

As with any device, you want to make sure to back up your data. The simplest method is just to back up the Virtual Devices Host directory and if you need to restore — you just restore the files. However, you should never backup the Virtual devices files on the VMware Server host if the Virtual Device is powered on.
First, either suspend or shut down the virtual machine before backing up its directory. Attempting to back up a powered on Virtual Device can cause it to hang. ALos, be sure to test your backup method before implementing it.
If you can’t take your server down, or just want to back up data, treat the Virtual Device like any other device. Back it up by installing backup software and connecting to backup media.
