What are the specific issues you are having with VCB?

There are a number of products that are essentially front-ends to VCB if
you feel its a management problem, but they do need VCB.
The TSM 5.5 client also added a number of features that make it less of a
hassle as well.

Otherwise, you just have to put clients in each VM.

Shawn

[ADSM-L] Quality alternative to VMware's Virtual Consolidated Backup?





Anyone know of an alternative method of backing up VMs, with the ability
to
run file-level or full VM backups? A product, scripting, anything?



God bless you!!!
