We are using VMWare.  You have choices as to backing up the physical or
logical servers.  The physical servers will get a status 1 because the
.DSK files (the logical servers) are open files.  You can quiesce the
logical servers during the backup however this was not optimal for us. 

We chose to back up the logical servers as unique entities and the
VMWare configuration files.  To restore, the VMWare server would be
re-built, the configuration files applied, and then the logical
server(s) restored.

Anybody running a Client and/or Media server on a Virtual Machine over
VMWare?  We're going to have a requirement to starting backing up both
Windows & Redhat Linux running as virtual machines.

On the surface, it looks like it should be doable but confirmation would
be
nice.
