Hi Michael,
let me mitigate this statement.
Although the backup process is at block
level , through the VADP ,you are able to recover single from that block
based backup, by using recovery agent or even better using the mount feature
now released in the TSM-VE UI (vCenter plug-in) ... for both Windows and
Linux, this with latest TSM-VE release 7.1.1
Hope it helps.

Hello Erwann, thank you for replying.
I am not using VCB -- but instead, VADP. It's ridiculous that IBM
can't
offer the same off-host file-level backup of for Linux VMs that they do
for
Windows VMs - now I have to deploy and manage an in-guest BA client for
every VM?
According to this link, it looks like file-level backup should be
available, off-host using VADP for BOTH Windows and Linux.

Am I missing something? Does anyone know if IBM is working on this
feature? I don't relish the idea of searching for Linux files by
repeatedly mounting images until I find the file I need...
