Hi Les Mikesell,

====================
No, not only does it not have any special facility to deal with the VM 
host (other than generic ssh commands), the large VM image files would 
always have changes that would prevent backuppc's pooling from working 
for them. On the other hand you could set up any running vm guest to 
be backed up just like a physical machine, and common files would be 
pooled in that case. 
====================

Just to confirm, you are saying that there is no simple "one command to back 
them all up", but I can individually back up each VM running on the OS as I 
normally would?

Thanks for the quick response.

Kind Regards,

gshergill
