    I am using 3 OS's on VMware (XP,Win 8, and fedora) . Can anyone guide me through the process of backing up and restoring VMs on another machine(Using VMware) ?
    I have 2 laptops and want to transfer a VM from 1 laptop to another.

    VirtualBox (Oracle, formerly SUN Microsystems {Think Java})
    https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

    The OS doesn't have to be Windows, as a VIRTUAL machine it is intended to support any OS you can install onto you real computer. Windows xx, Linux xx, FreeBSD xx, etc.

    I haven't tried VMWare, but try browsing to your Virtual Machines Folder (Windows Explorer) and backing up that. You basically need the Virtual Hard Drives. I recommend using something like 7-Zip to compress the files as compression will dramatically cut file size if those drives have "free-space".

    Not legally... and please, no further answers to this particular question. I don't feel like cleaning up today.
