With our Netware boxes, we use the fullvm option with VCB to backup the entire 
virtual machine.   You will have to install the client on the VM if you want 
file level backups.

Subject: [ADSM-L] VMware VCB and non windows OS


How does one backs up a non Windows OS in a VMware environment?  The TSM
client (5.5.1) in the VCB explicitly states that the BACKUP VM command
will only backup a Window OS.  Would one install the appropriate TSM
client inside the VM and schedule the VM directly?  Any other options?
