Simply an answer to Bob's question. I wasn't aware of any other product that was able to do what he wanted online other than DPM, obviously MBS has found another.

If it ain't DPM it's ?????? ________________________________ From: Tim Vander Kooi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2008 12:13 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Backup MS Virtual machines Bob, DPM 2007 does what you are looking for as long as you are running on Server 2003. At this time I believe it is the only product available that can do it. The white paper on this page http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/dpm/workloads/virtual.mspx goes into more detail.

And when I do that, the VM Stops. That is what I am trying to avoid. Bob Fronk From: Christopher J. Bosak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2008 11:36 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Backup MS Virtual machines Just back up the physical folders that contain the files for the VM?

I am using MS Virtual server. Bob Fronk From: Ziots, Edward [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2008 11:22 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Backup MS Virtual machines Not found a client that will do that yet. Hopefully Legato will come out with something accordingly. Probably want to look into ESX ranger to do a copy of the VMX, VMDK to another box at an offsite for DR. Its silly that EMC owns Vmware pretty much and they cant get a client that will work with the ESX OS which is just a flavor of RedHat.

Is there a solution that does not have to have the VM in a stopped state? Bob Fronk This email and any attached files are confidential and intended solely for the intended recipient(s).
