Hi everyone,

 

I have another question about Bacula. This time it’s regarding a vmware environment. I would like to have Bacula backup some VM’s that I have on ESX machines. I know this is typically done (with other backup software such as BackupExec) via snapshots. You would set up a service account in Active Directory called “BackupExec” and configure BackupExec to create a snapshot of a given server and then copy that snapshot to tape.  My question is: Is there a way to do this in Bacula?


Hi.

To my mind this is possible only with Bacula Enterprise and their vSphere plugin. And the plugin requires some VMware license as the backup API is not enabled on the free version of ESX.
