I do this all the time. I actually save each of my virtual machines in a separate directory and duplicate the entire directory to make a copy. All links in the VMX file (configuration) refer to the current directory.

One thing to watch out for. The VMX file has a line with the MAC address of the virtual network card:

ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:ff:1f:c7"

, - 1 ( c8).

Depending on your needs, you can try (for free) VMWare Converter . It allows you to change disk sizes and other image settings.

As others have said, this is how you implement full backups for your virtual machines.

When the VM is not running, simply copy the virtual disks to another location, then restart the virtual machine.
