Having backups is important. Manually making backups is easy to forget. Especially as you must shut down your VM when you want to make a backup.

You can schedule backups of your virtual machine. So you will not forget to make them. Backups can be made reliably, even when your VM is running

You do not have to install anything in your Virtual Machine. Because Vimalin employs VMware automation, it works for all guest OS types.

Using Vimalin gives you a better handle on your backups, where they are, how much space they occupy and if the backup was a success or not.

You can add comments to your backups. This makes it easy to keep track of why you made the backup.

Backups can be compressed so they use less space
