RE: [Veritas-bu] Backing up virtual servers
Title: Message We purchased NetBackup recently and we were advised then that in a VMWare environment we would simply need one client license per OS. So for each physical machine you would need one to back up the VMWare/Linux environment (if desired) then one Windows client which would cover one or more virtual servers.

RE: [Veritas-bu] Backing up virtual servers
If you are using ESX you have to install the Linux client to backup the VM image without stopping the OS. We also backup the VM OS with its own client so if there is a problem we can restore one file or the whole OS. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Rock Sent: Thursday, April 06, 2006 8:18 AM To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Backing up virtual servers * Roger Wilber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2006-04-06 10:50]: > Easier?

RE: [Veritas-bu] Backing up virtual servers
Title: Message Hi Jonathan Can I ask why everyone cannot do this? If the VM are live boxes (and I know many sites that use them as live machines), would it not be easier to place a netbackup client software on the boxes and just treat them as physical machines, rather than use downtime, copy the files to an alternaitve location and then back them up. Yes it can be done your way, just wondering why the client cannot be installed?
