We have a similar setup (non critical servers on a vm guest with the free vmware server).
I put the BE remote agent on the host server, not the guest. Then have the BE media server run a pre job script to shut down the VM, then backup the folder containing the VM, then run a post job script that defrags the Virt HDD and then powers it back on. This means I can use one agent license to backup all the guests, but the guest must be shutdown. Works for us. hth, Devin On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 7:45 PM, Roger Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Okay, I've just deployed my first VM using VMware Server – a non-essential > server so I could get a feel for the process – and it's running well. > > Now… what do I need to do to back up this and any future machines with > Backup Exec? > > Does the host BE agent cover the guests or do I need to place an agent on > each? > > Or is that only necessary if I wish to restore files/folders within the VM? > > > > > > Roger Wright > > Network Administrator > > Evatone, Inc. > > 727.572.7076 x388 > > _____ > > > > > > "All new": Parts not interchangeable with previous model. > > > > -- Devin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
