Yes, do the backup as you would a bare-metal machine. Backing up virtual machines from "outside" is tricky -- you need the guest OS and applications to put themselves into a consistent state so that any attempt to copy the guest's disk(s) doesn't result in an inconsistent mess. It's generally easier to do the backup from within the guest just as though it was bare metal; if you can't do that then you should shut the guest down before backing up (and powered off machine is sufficiently consistent). jch
