Hello all,
I've been trying to get vStorage API backups going with Netbackup 7 in
my test environment now,  and am running into what I presume are
"standard" issues for people who've done this with VCB in the past.
Pretty sure I'm getting through those OK.

Getting beyond myself now, as this is a test environment  which has Lab
Manager, I'm running into VMs I can't backup. This is presumably because
they've been deployed via Lab Manager, which doesn't support the VMWare
snapshot method required to get the vStorage backups working.  The VMs
deployed straight from vCenter are no problem (basically the ones I can
right-click in vSphere client and create manual snapshots for ;).

Does this make sense?  Anyone have any experience with Lab Manager
deployed VM guests and VCB/vStorage backups?  Is there another method I
can try?

Thanks,
Jon
