I backup the root of all my VMs to a NAS and then backup each VM to the NAS.
Then I run a script that compresses and renames each backup (datestamps it). Then I run a script that deletes backups more than 30 days old. All in PowerShell. Regards, Michael B.

Terry, Thanks for the WBadmin command line entry. About "The biggest problem is that everytime you run it, you overwrite the old backup so you only have the latest backup." -- this is so only because your target is a remote share. A local drive can keep versions. I think your -AllCritical switch backs up all VMs. There is no option to select just one.
