You seem to have missed the point. A VmWare system is known to be less
accurate with the clock. So your nagios installation on top of that may
suffer from that.

Ghost may be nice for those XP images. But if you know what you changed
then you know what to backup.

I have two servers that have a backup user on each and I use rsync+ssh
to backup config files and such on a daily bases to the other server.
