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.

Hi.
Sounds interensting. So what exactly do you backup with this solution?
Does the Windows VM see VMware store directories and shares them?

*Subject:* [Bacula-users] Backing up vmware-based virtual machines
using Bacula
Hi everyone,
I have another question about Bacula. 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
