I am!  I'm not using savepnpc.  In my environment (where I use VMware
occasionally to provide a bunch of client systems), I shut down all virtual
systems before I do the backup, which then becomes just a standard Linux
client backup.

If I were backing up running virtual systems or systems where I cared about
the data in the virtual systems, then I would install the NetWorker client
in each running virtual system, and back them up through the LAN (or SAN, if
this is supported yet).

The documents at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx_backup_guide.pdf and
http://www.vmware.com/pdf/ESXBackup.pdf, while old, provide some guidance on
the various backup options.

Subject: [Networker] Vmware ESX

 Anyone using Networker to backup the ESX on VMWare (Linux)?  We have
versions 2.0, 2.1.0, 2.1.1. and 2.1.2.  Problems?

Do you use the savepnpc?  What are the commands?
