A question about vmware converter

Hi im not sure if this is possible or not so thought i'd ask you experts.
What i'd like to know is if its possible in the vmware converter to setup a schedule in where a image of a pc will be created every week into a virtual machine?
If this is possible can someone tell me in how to do this
thanks

Does this information help with what you are trying to do?

I must admit it is not a common use for VMConverter. I have not come across any customers that do any scripting with it.

cheers for the fast reply but im not sure if i've explained it well enough
on a normal pc i want vmware converter to basically import the physical machine into a virtual machine and backup to another destiation but i want to be able to run this process like a scheduled backup would run so that pc would run a back up every week without me having to be there and for it to run automatically.
im not sure if this is possible or not but would like to know.
Thanks

VizionCore vRanger Pro can do that ! It costs about £300 per physical processor. It can P2V a machine as part of it's backup process. I haven't tried it myself - I gave up trying to use it's clunky interface!
