Need help on how to script an "alternate location" backup for a specific server (VM) weekly

Hello, this is my first post, I do browse the forums everyweek though. ;)

Here's my problem, 

I do this very manual "restore" to an alternate location for a server that needs a second backup copy every single week, (with different host (VM), different display name, etc). I was wondering if it was possible to script/schedule this sort of backup to happen weekly.

Right now it is very time consuming and laborous to do this every week and was wondering if any shortcuts were  available.

Let me know if its possible to script something like that!

Thanks,

etn

Guess you will be able to script it, using the nbrestorevm command, see Appendix A in the vmware admin guide. 

The standard questions: Have you checked: 1) What has changed. 2) The manual 3) If there are any tech notes or VOX posts regarding the issue
