"cold" backup of virtual machine - using vdp ?

Hello.  I need to do a cold backup of several important vm's to external storage. The main purpose is for disaster recovery, and I think that .OVA is a best format fo this.

I could stop some vm's and export ovf/ova without problems, while there are number of machines I couldn't even stop them because they are very important.

I'm looking for ideas what could I do...  we have VDP 6.1 with backups of all of these machines... Is the only alternative to do a restore to another destination, and then do an ova export ? (and delete then useless restore).
