I really want to avoid that, if at all possible, because I do like that I
don't have to install on 70+ clients right now, just getting tired of various
issues, including the VCB server locking up once a week, at least. Part of
the problem is that our "mount" directory (that contains the snapshots that
TSM backs up) is on the SAN.

If you don't want to use the consolidate backup, you can install
a client on each virtual machine, and treat is the same way you
treat a real physical client.

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!!!
