Greets, amanda-users,

has anyone successfully tried to use Amanda inside a VM, especially one
running on VMware ESX Server?

ESX does bring its own hardened OS and from the infos I got so far it
isn't possible to just install additional software (I will test that as
soon my test license is here).

So the idea of the customer was to run amanda inside a VM, accessing the
physical tape(loader).

I am unsure about the overall performance, though.

Thanks for any ideas,

Stefan
