At least it would keep your users up and running until you rebuilt your physical box in one way or another. And since we're on the topic of VMware. All you Central IL admins, don't forget the VMUG meeting next week in Normal at ISU. Been a while since we had one and I'm sure it will fill up fast.

Jay Dale Senior Systems Administrator o:713.785.0960 x290 From: Bob Fronk [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2010 8:53 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Physical to Virtual backup Good morning list members! I have a physical server running a 3rd party accounting package. The vendor does NOT support their product in a virtual environment or in a cluster at this time. I am certain it would run fine in a VM, but due to our support agreement, I must continue to run it on a single server. (The database is run on a separate SQL cluster) For backup and DR purposes, I would like to take daily P2V snapshot of this single server. I am interested if anyone else is doing something similar and, if so, what you are using. Thanks, BF ... ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
