 * Testimonial: A must have utility


TESTIMONIAL: A MUST HAVE UTILITY

“Vimalin is an extraordinary and absolutely ‘must-have’ utility for any computer
user who is running VMware Fusion and/or Workstation.

Because Vimalin is an expertly designed and extremely powerful dedicated VMware
virtual machine backup program that gives users many fantastic and
time/resource-saving benefits, including all of the following:

 A. Extremely robust and highly reliable complete VM backups, which can be even
    more reliable than VMware’s native VM snapshots chains.
 B. Because using Vimalin enables users to stop using snapshots altogether, the
    user’s VM thereby becomes dramatically smaller (ours went from about 650 GB
    to just 150 GB, that is, less than one-quarter or 20% of their original
    size!).
 C. Backing up VM’s to an external hard drive (whereas snapshots are stored
    locally), thereby saving the user hundreds of valuable gigabytes on his/her
    internal boot drive.
 D. Fusion users of Vimalin now can exclude their VM directory
    (~Documents/Virtual Machines) from their Time Machine backups, thereby
    making them both (1) vastly smaller and also (2) much faster.
 E. Because Vimalin users no longer need to use snapshots, they never will
    discover that their VM contains hundreds of gigabytes of “orphan” snapshots
    (i.e., snapshots that the user deleted, but that, for some reason, still
    exist in the VM), as we had on all of our Macs.

So, in light of the above, backing up our VMware VM’s went from a massive
headache (i.e., huge files with tons of snapshots and Time Machine issues)
before Vimalin, to an extremely efficient and “lean and mean” process with
Vimalin, that now takes vastly less time and much less effort.

Finally, the founder of Vimalin and its publisher, Antwise Solutions, Wil van
Antwerpen, is both extraordinarily knowledgeable about VMware VM’s (he could
write a textbook on them!) and also is exceptionally helpful, always providing
us with very valuable information and insights, and very promptly responding to
any questions that we have.

Accordingly, and as a decades-long computer and VMware user, I and my company
cannot recommend Vimalin highly enough. Indeed, Vimalin is an absolute godsend,
because it has saved us terabytes of storage, countless hours of work, and also
hundreds of dollars (because we now do not need to buy larger internal boot and
external backup drives), thereby paying for itself many times over, and is an
absolute must-have utility for every VMware user!
