Questions questions about vmware esx 3 and TSM...
Presently, i back up the virtual clients with the typical TSM Client, which is fine.
But what about the vmware esx server itself?
I've installed TSM 5.4 on it and configured the dsm.sys with the typical config + the following:
virtualmountpoint /vmfs
largecom yes
txnbytelimit 25600
tcpnodelay yes
tcpbuffsize 32
tcpwin 64
exclude /vmfs/.../*.vswp
exclude /vmfs/.../*.REDO
Now, if i start a backup of this, it takes foreever and never seems to complete...
Can i back up the /vmfs at all? Should we? What do you guys do?
thanks.
