Not everyone can do this, but if you can spare the downtime I've
scripted in the past a brief suspend, File Copy to Another Directory and
then Resume the Virtual Session. You can backup that copy of the system
whenever is convenient, and you have a simple way to restore.

Subject: RE: [Veritas-bu] Backing up virtual servers
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.
=20
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
:-)

Yes it does. This was my t5hinkibng as well. But wanted to see
how others were handling virtual servers.

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.
