Sorry... Should explain a little more.
I have used the standalone converter successfully and taken manual images to vmk files.
Ideally I would like to automate the process so that the software takes regular images of a server at various intervals (perhaps hourly or at the end of each day).
Once the image is take it would be good if I could then get it into the cloud for DR.
In the event of a DR I would then like to firstly be able to look at the local copy and at worst, recall the VM back from the cloud.
