The biggest drawback to using NetBackup for VMWare is the license.  You have to 
have a license for the VMWare box and all of the Virtual systems on it.

You could use the VMWare backup utility to back up to a NFS mounted drive and 
put the data on a system that is being backed up the NetBackup.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup and VmWare..

Hi all,

 

Any one running Vmware against netbackup?

We have a new HP blade system which will run Vmware, and I wonder how I can
back this up to netbackup? Our blade guys tell me that vmware comes with its
own backup solution that is preferred to use.

 

Please advice in what is the best way to handle backups of vmware system.

 

Thanks and regards,
