A utility for archiving VMware Fusion virtual machines. Will archive single VMs or directories of VMs, stopping & restarting any running VMs in the process.
Note: This only maintains a single archive of the original VM, overwriting any existing copies.
make install

vmware_archive /path/to/virtual_machine.vmwarevm /path/to/destination
vmware_archive /path/to/virtual/machines/ /path/to/destination
