If you run your VMWare file level backups using VCB, it appears you don't
get a backup of System state in the usual VSS way, but you get a backup of
the C: drive, including the files that are normally locked, correct?

You aren't going to be able to use the TSM client to do a SystemState
restore of that.

Is there any reason to DO any backups of System State for VM?

Are folks just assuming we will rebuild from a fullvm backup in case of
registry corruption?

Any insight appreciated!
