mark@c2RAID6 ~ $ cat ./DoBackups
mount /backups
rsync -avx /VirtualMachines/VMWare/. /backups/VMWare

is not possible to make native vmware backup in blocklevel ?, or is file level backup needed ?

rsync -avx /VirtualMachines/Virtualbox/. /backups/Virtualbox

same here, i know virtualbox can make blocklevel backup and its really more usefull if imho to make it that way

rsync -avx /home/. /backups/home

this would make a tarball instaed ?

cd
umount /backups
mark@c2RAID6 ~ $

I'm wondering whether -avx is what others would use or whether
there's a better set of options.

its possible to make filelevel backups to nas disks like qnap i have here with have rsync client/server, but if you more liked to migrade to another vmware/virtualbox then rsync is not the best option for backups

When the RAID comes back up I want to reverse and copy back from
USB drive to the /VirtualMachines directory.

will not create the virtualbox/vmware setup, if thats not needed then ok
