from man ntfsclone:

NTFSCLONE(8)                                                      NTFSCLONE(8)

NAME
       ntfsclone - Efficiently clone, image, restore or rescue an NTFS

part of the ntfsprogs package.

For win32 etc. and linux partitions, I just copy the files. Linux is powerful enough to recover/recreate partitions as you need them.

Partimage has already been suggested; for ntfs I would prefer ntfsclone, though.

Don't know, if this works to restore for VMware.
