The first method: directly copy the virtual disk files under the local host disk into the backup directory, and the next time you restore, open the files in the backup directory directly with VMware.

First, the virtual machine virtual disk file and the directory where the configuration file resides are displayed before the VMware virtual machine is opened and the mouse is placed in the name of the VMware machine that needs to be backed up.

Locate the above path, copy all the files to the backup directory, or copy the previous folder directly, and then rename it.

"To restore or migrate to another virtual machine.

Directly in the VMware main interface, click "File (F)" In the top right corner, click "Open (O)" in the pop-up drop-down box, select the backup directory or copy the directory from someone else's virtual machine disk file, select the file ending with. vmx and open it.

The second method: Export the VOF template file

Open the VMware virtual machine, select the name of the virtual machine you want to export, then click "File (F)" and click "Export as OVF (E)" in the pop-up drop-down box.

PS: Export virtual machine VOF template is required to close the virtual machine being exported

I'm not close here, so it's gray.
