This script allows for backups of virtual machines on ESX(i) 3.5/4.0 servers by taking snapshots of live VMs, backing up disk files, and deleting snapshots.

Configuration options include specifying VMs and disks to backup, backup location, format, and retention. It can power on/off VMs and has various timeout settings.
