Subject: Re: VCB & Networker


Hello, 
I think there is mass confusion here, if you are truly using VCB proxy, which 
is also your storage node, one Networker client is suppose to backup all the VM 
Guests, now how exactly networker keeps track of each clients data  should be 
all detailed in VCB integration Guide. 
That is a start 
HTH

Yes, I agree - that is because there are different ways to backup using vcb / 
NW - as tkutil pointed out, you can backup a number of them using one client 
config. the "Proper" saveset commands have never really been "given" - For 
example, in the current Legato Integration guide, it says you can use: 

VM:vmname:*FULL*

But OTOH, I always just use 

*FULL*

In the saveset field to get a full image of the particular client using the 
vcbuser account. (I believe it was this way since the first integration pack, 
but not sure). 

I'm not sure which, if either, is correct. The vcb guide does not give much 
help regarding networker-specific saveset info - the most info I have found is 
in the legato/vmware integration readme.html - I was only asking as I was 
wondering if this reduced client license usage in NW...

In any event, I will try the aliasing out myself, as I am running low on NW 
client lics and if you can backup multiple vm's in one client, I'm all for that 
assuming you can discern which is which on restore.

Thanks,
jamie
