Do you backup the virtual disk files themselves (running the backup on the root/host), or do you backup the files from within the guest (as if the guest was just another network node)? The later is the direction I'm leaning in -- it's how we do things with our physical servers anyway. But it seems like backing up the virtual disk files would also be useful, for recovery from OS corruption, disaster scenarios, etc. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
