Thank you Wil for your fast response. Your product sounds like what I have been looking for.
Let me know if any of the following assumptions are incorrect:
I can continue to use both host machine and the quest being backed up while the backup is running.
The temporary snapshot file created during the backup will be on the host machine, will be deleted after the backup finishes and will be the same size as the guest being backed up.
To use any of the backups I simply point workstation pro to the backed up file and select "open a virtual machine". It will have the same settings as the original VM (memory, network settings, cpu allocation etc) and if desired I can continue to use this backup going forward and can even delete the original VM.
This process can then be repeated as needed.
I suppose I could even start the original VM to get access to older versions of data if necessary.
Thanks for your help.
Dennis
