Not the prettiest way.but this is how I backed up VM's.
I attached a backup device to a Windows VM and shared out backup directories I created. I edited fstab where Bacula Director daemon is running and configured it to mount the shares on boot. The shares were also created and owned on the Windows machine with the user "bacula". The rest of it was just changing all the config files and getting everything pointed to the right places. I've currently got it backing up 2 Linux servers, Windows 2008 server, pfSense firewall and a test on my personal laptop. Works flawlessy for me. -- Michael D.

This time it's regarding a vmware environment. I would like to have Bacula backup some VM's that I have on ESX machines. I know this is typically done (with other backup software such as BackupExec) via snapshots. You would set up a service account in Active Directory called "BackupExec" and configure BackupExec to create a snapshot of a given server and then copy that snapshot to tape. My question is: Is there a way to do this in Bacula? Thanks! Regards, Michael
