Well think of the virtual server as a physical one. As long as it can
resolve name resolution, is not blocked by any firewalls, and can
communicate with its host netbackup server, should be ok.
 
We used to do this on NT4, so my guess is, not alot has changed :-) Its a
standard PC Client software on what it believes is a physical machine :-)
 
Thanks

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