This is a non-interactive script that backs up a specified list of VMs to a chosen datastore. Supported datastores are: local storage, SAN and NFS. The nature of the script allows backups to be scheduled via crontab. The script also provides an option to backup virtual machines to a non-persistent NFS share. The NFS connection is created on the ESX(i) server and is disconnected upon completion of backups.
