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?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backing up virtual servers



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.
