  •  -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

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
