Ahh interesting, that's handy to know, a friend of mine runs Ubuntu  
server with VMWare Server on top, and doing something like this would  
make a great backup for if his server goes down, I'm thinking maybe it  
could be used to create a working nightly backup of the VM which he  
can keep off site and just plug in to a machine if need be.
