I just called VMWare and the guy said that for what I wanted to do, 
a bare metal restore solution, that I would be better served by going with
either hardware or software raid maybe combined with something like
a tape backup solution, and that their desktop / workstation
applications are not suited as a complete backup - bare
metal restore solution.  He said their system was mainly for taking
system snapshots for development purposes.
