VMWareCopy 0.3

Published on October 28, 2007 in Software and vmcopy. 3 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

Fixed some minor issues and added two new features:

  •  -start flag, if set image will be started after copy (has no effect if image was stopped by vmcopy tool).
  • NOOP thread. Will send the NOOP command to the FTP server every 5 minutes. This prevents server disconnects on long (e.g. writing directory XML) inactivity.

New version can be downloaded here: VMWareCopy 0.3

VMWareCopy is a tool to backup VMWare images running on a MicrosoftWindows VMWare host. It’s designed to be used with VMWare Server andrequires a FTP server to backup the images to.The reason for FTP is simple: it’s way faster then a windows share.A quick sum of the features:

  1. Stop the image before copy and resume it afterwards (uses VMWare VIX).
  2. Write vmware image directory structure to file including file permissions.
  3. Calculate file hashes/checksums of type MD5 and SHA1.
  4. Verify the hash of an uploaded file (need support for SITE HASH command, currently available for Gene6 and SimpleFTP).
  5. Option to skip copy if none of the files has the Archive bit set.

Just run VMWareCopy without arguments to see all the command line options.Download exe, scripts and source: VMWareCopy 0.2

What is changed:

  • Uninstaller will first uninstall service.
  • Relative paths are send to the client (e.g. C:\Temp\mydir becomes /mydir).
  • Minor fixes.

    • For those who are interested. The server is based on LightFTPServer by Joel Pobar (http://callvirt.net/blog/). I used icons from the SilkIcons set by Mark James. Took some FileMonitor code from SathishVJ and basically copied the PasswordHash code from Jonathan Bailey.Downloads:SimpleFTP 0.2, Simple FTP Src 0.2
