Backup VmWare virtual client and Physical host
Hello. When you configure archiving in a VmWare guest system, in the wizard, you must specify a physical Networker host. If the physical host is part of the cluster, what happens if the guest OS migrating to another physical host? Networker keeps track of these changes or you must manually this control?

Define physical host as esx cluster name.

Thanks for that. Looks like it could help with an issue I'm facing where VMs have been migrating between physical hosts during the backup process. Soon as they do, the backup dies, and we're left with a nasty snapshot consolidation issue. This should cure at least one headache for me.

Just did some testing with a compatriot on our environment here. Looks like not only could we specify the cluster name as our physical host, but we could also specify the vm datacenter name, or even our vBlock/vCenter name. So far, so good!

At this point, you can specify whatever you want - there is no real check.
