Greg
Are you referring to something like Virtual PC's or virtual Servers? VS
that are on a HOST Machine?
=20
If so, what you could do is implement the Netbackup Client on EACH
virtual machine and ensure it can see the Master.
=20
In theory, you should still be able to perform a backup of the "Virtual
Machine" and restore single files.
=20
You should still backup the Master Host Machine too :-)
does this help?

        Currently we backup up the hosting server that has the virtual
server directories. But running a restore means we have to restore the
entire server and we are not able to restore individual files. How does
everyone else backup virtual servers.
