We are consolidating many former stand-alone servers onto VMWare, and we are
backing those up just like any other server. I am only asking about the ESX
'OS' itself.
Some of these instances are critical, so I cannot shut down the VM server.

Subject: Re: [Networker] Vmware ESX
I am! I'm not using savepnpc. In my environment (where I use VMware
occasionally to provide a bunch of client systems), I shut down all virtual
systems before I do the backup, which then becomes just a standard Linux client
backup.
If I were backing up running virtual systems or systems where I cared about the
data in the virtual systems, then I would install the NetWorker client in each
running virtual system, and back them up through the LAN (or SAN, if this is
supported yet).
The documents at http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx_backup_guide.pdf and
http://www.vmware.com/pdf/ESXBackup.pdf, while old, provide some guidance on
the various backup options.

Anyone using Networker to backup the ESX on VMWare (Linux)? We have versions
2.0, 2.1.0, 2.1.1. and 2.1.2. Problems?
Do you use the savepnpc? What are the commands?

Subject: [Networker] Comparing data on tape with disk
Hello everyone
Are there any way that I can run a verification on the tapes to see what's
being backup?
What I am trying to do is compare data on tapes with data on disk
