I can't say it's officially supported, I'll have to check the docs.  I
can say that I personally have used it with Vmware with no problems.  
Only limitation that I've run into is 32bit only.  No 64bit support
until the next release

I should have mentioned earlier that this server is a VMware virtual
machine. Do you know if snap image can be used to backup up a win2003
server that it a VM?

        Yes, SnapImage would be the way to go. It basically sets up an
NDMP
        server on you client allowing you to do block level backups of
the
        filesystems. 
        
        There are a couple caveats, but every time I've set it up we've
seen
        quite dramatic improvements.

        This is funny. We have been working with this exact problem and
my
        findings point me to Networker SnapImage Module. I was about to
send an
        email asking for some more info on SnapImage. 
        
        I know it requires NDMP and I am trying to figure out it will
work with
        are infrastructure.
        
        I need to back up a LUN from our SUN 9985 array that is attached
Windows
        Server 2003 client.
        
        Thanks

        Hi, what options does networker have to backup a server with
lots of
        small files. Each night the backup will be 1.5 million files on
two
        drives on a win2003 server. I know that with netbackup i could
look at
        flashsnap backup. Is there a competing module that works with
networker?
        
        Thanks
