Kelly, We are backing up ESX based virtual machines with the TSM client. We don't use VCB to backup vmdk files. That decision was made by the ESX admin. He uses esXpress, and is very happy with it and the technical support there. We are not at TSM 5.5, so the 'backup vm' command is not yet there for us. We have 30 ESX servers and about 300 virtual machines.
Best wishes, Keith Arbogast
