backing up a VM with several drives
#2
Hello Sandow,

If I am understanding your question correctly then your VM has 3 virtual disks and those 3 virtual disks are spread out over 3 physical disks?
I can see why you would want to do such a thing.

Unfortunately it is a very uncommon thing to do, and as it meant additional complications for restoring a backup, it isn't a VM configuration that has made it into the product so far.
While there might be a hack with dummy VMs in order to backup the other disks as well I cannot really recommend going down that path. It would make a non standard config into something more obscure where VMware Workstation itself might cause trouble. (Sharing disks between VMs can cause all kinds of serious trouble)

Sorry to say that -for this particular configuration- I do not know of a proper workaround at this moment in time.
