Asunto: Re: [Bacula-users] Does anyone has backed up vmdk's of anESXi?
You can't install Bacula on ESXi, it's not a Linux system (it's a Busybox system running on top of the VMware vmkernel).
Someone will have to develop a plugin that allows Bacula to use the VMware Consolidated Backup API to properly back up VM's.
The procedure would be to use the API to call either a vCenter Server or ESXi host to snapshot the VM, use the NFC (Network File Copy) hooks to copy the vmdk file to tape or local disk, then remove the snapshot when done.
It's possible with some fancy scripting, you can run scripts within Bacula to do those things.

Hi all,
Did you try to Backup vmdk’s of an ESXi server? I’ve googled but there’re no certain answers... I think that ESXi is so striped to try to deploy bacula-fd in the System, but, trying to copy by ssh the files to other System before Backup,...
What method do you use?
Thanks!
