I use bacula in a similar manner, only I use LVM2 to create a snapshot of the filesystem that the vmware image files are on. I also have bacula use sparse file detection (which cuts the backup from 51GB [as reported by the OS] to 33.5GB [as reported by the guest OS]). I've tested restores of this method, and every thing seems fine. The host OS is Gentoo (kernel 2.6.21, vmware-server 1.0.3.44356, bacula 1.36.3 - 2.2.4). Guest is Windows NT4 (long story...).
