Answer : vcb question

Hi

OK this is another question.

The Backupexec 12 have the VMware agents, to backup the data at file level(like SQL, Files, Sys etc.). But to backup all the VMs is different

So you can backup the VMs with VCB commands, or you can use another tools, or scripts to backup that the VM

Tools:

http://www.vizioncore.com/vRangerPro.html

Scripts:

Now depends how to backup the the VMs, and where to backup.

You can create a Proxy Backup Server, to backup all your VMware environment
