Hmm, it would appear I can't do that with the VM player - I have to fork
out £160 quid for the paid version.


Why not just manually make a copy of it ?

How can it not be possible?


Which files do I need to copy - there are a lot of them, and it is far
from clear which ones I would need to copy to act as a back-up. I have
three different operating systems set up within VMware, and it is not
obvious which are which, apart from a couple of very small (around
250Kb) files which bear the name of the O/Ss.

It's a bit late for you now, but:

What I've done is make a separate directory for each VM (although at the
moment I only have one active VM). I put them under
Users\(me)\AppData\Roaming\VMware.

So I would copy the whole directory for

Users\(me)\AppData\Roaming\VMware\WindowsXP

(in my case) and hope that VMware isn't hiding necessary stuff
elsewhere.
