There will be some VM configuration for each VM, yes. For example, on FreeBSD, this line, amongst others, would be added to /etc/rc.conf: bacula_server_enable="YES" > Regardless of target, there will be some VM configuring to get the > appropriate backup device mapped so that bacula-sd can use it.

To get SCSI going from within the VM would be interesting. Do you intend for the VM to access external SCSI devices on the host? -- Dan Langille - http://langille.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
