Backing up ESX Host and the virtual machines

Friends

In the client environment right now, there 3 ESX servers (3.0.1 and 3.5 versions) and all the windows,linux VMs running.

I install client packages of 7.4.4 on all the virtual machines and i do backup on my NetWorker 7.4.4 server. What is the way of backing up the ESX server? do we have separate client package for this ?


best regards

In the software compatibility guide you can find the versions of ESX which are supported.
You just install the Linux client/server/storage node package on ESX server.

You should also consider the VCB which (regarding latest license changes) can be cheaper than installing clients in each virtual machine.

Hi VJ

If you haven't already, check out Chapter 20 'Support for VMware' in the NetWorker V7.5 Administration Guide.

For more information, see Powerlink in Home > Support > Technical Documentation and Advisories > Software ~ J-O ~ Documentation > NetWorker Family > White Papers for the white paper EMC NetWorker 7.5 for VMware ¿ Applied Technology.

http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/partners/emc/emc-vmware-backup-networker-datasheet.pdf is a great 2-page overview, and there are several backup-focused documents on the VMware web site.

Hope this helps.
