We’re currently installing the NBU
client inside our xenserver VM’s. It’s not ideal, the biggest issue
is that if we try to back up all the VM’s at once, we completely overload
the backend ISCSI storage. J
There’s some stuff on the citrix
forums about using snapshots to export copies of the VMs, but that’s not
useful to us here so I haven’t looked at in depth.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backing Up
Citrix XenServer VMs
I’d
like to start backing up some of our Windows 2003\2008 vm’s running on
Citrix XenServer (5.5). Our master server is running Netbackup 6.5.3 (Solaris
10). It looks like you can’t backup the VM itself since you have to put
the nbu client inside the vm, unlike VCB. Just curious if anyone is
backing up Citrix XenServer and what the experience has been.
Jason
