Would it not be easier to apply the NBU Client? That way, it can run either
if anyone is logged on or logged off?

Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] Backing up virtual servers
Another possibility exists, especially for temporary test setups:
While backing up the the Windows VM host (lets call it vmhost), I just add
into the backup selection something along the lines of "\\vm1\C$" where vm1
is one of the virtual machines. The Netbackup client on vmhost has to be
running as an administrative user. I create a special account for it and
change the password on a regular schedule. That allows me to backup the (in
my case test environment) VMs individually as long as they are in use.

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 :-)
